Jacek Ziober (born 18 November 1965) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Contents

In years 1989 to 1993, he was a key player of Poland national football team. In 1990, he won the Piłka Nożna Polish Footballer of the Year award. He competed in the 1990–91 European Cup Winners' Cup with Montpellier, losing in the quarterfinals to Manchester United. In 1993, he moved to Osasuna, but after one season the team was relegated to the Segunda División.

In 1996, Ziober returned to Poland to play for Amica Wronki. Since the Poland national team failed to qualify to any major tournament in the 1990s, Ziober never played at a major senior international tournament. His greatest international success remains winning the bronze medal at the 1984 UEFA Euro U-18.

Style of play

Ziober was a pacy winger who possessed good dribbling ability, thus he could easily get the better of most defenders. He was, however, sometimes criticized for too egoistic play. Ziober was recognizable by his shoulder-long hairstyle, which he sported for most of his career.
