Quote ="marathonman"yeah I remember Eddie Syzmala well. A right nutcase at times,not a bad player though. Think he played for GB a couple of times too'"
I recall Syzmala from around 1980 to 1982 ish
He was a seriously dedicated body builder at that time and he was certainly ripped
He certainly stood out as an athletic and fit guy,especially at that time when training wasn't taken all that seriously with regards to gym sessions and especially from the clubs whose normal training sessions were 3 laps round the pitch and a game of touch and pass followed by all of the boys having 8 pints down the pub.
