Arkadiusz Jerzy Onyszko (born 12 January 1974) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He serves as the goalkeeping coach of the Poland U17 national team. [2]

Club career

Onyszko was born in Lublin. He began his career in 1989 with KS Lublinianka. In 1998, he moved to Viborg FF from Widzew Łódź, and established himself as Viborg's number one goalkeeper. In 2003, he was transferred to Odense Boldklub, where he spent the next six years as OB's first choice goalkeeper. Between 1998 and 2009, he played 363 games in the Danish Superliga, which makes him the fifth most capped player and the most capped foreigner.

After a turbulent time in Denmark, Onyszko returned to Poland and signed a short-term contract with Odra Wodzislaw on 13 January 2010. [3] The club came last in the league this season and were relegated, but Onyszko's displays were impressive enough to earn him a two-year contract with Polonia Warsaw, which he signed in May 2010. [4] However, in June 2010 Onyszko was diagnosed with kidney failure.

On 6 January 2013, Onyszko had a kidney transplant in Szczecin. [5]

International career

Onyszko was a member of the Poland national team that won the silver medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

Controversies

In June 2009, Onyszko was convicted on charges of assaulting his former wife and sentenced to three months imprisonment, of which two months would be suspended. His club fired him the very same day. [6]

A few days later, he signed a contract with Danish club FC Midtjylland. He was fired on 2 November after the release of his autobiography, which contained attacks on homosexuals and female sport reporters. [7]

In his native Poland, he was criticised for his homophobic statements and for sparking anti-Polish sentiment. [7]
