Euro 2012: Poland great laid to rest
THE ashes of one of Poland’s greatest players, Kazimierz Deyna, were placed at the Powazki Cemetery in Warsaw yesterday having been brought home almost 23 years after he was killed in a car crash in San Diego.
A Polish guard of honour, officials and hundreds of fans attended to mark the occasion and remember the playmaker, who died at 41.
Poland coach Franciszek Smuda and sports minister Joanna Mucha attended a mass to initiate an all-day ceremony ending at the stadium of Deyna’s former club, Legia Warsaw, where a monument was unveiled.
