'''Andrzej Szarmach''' ({{IPA|pl|ˈandʐɛj ˈʂarmax}}; born 3 October 1950) is a Polish former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Forward (association football)|striker]].

Prior to the [[1974 FIFA World Cup]], he was virtually unknown.<ref name="Goles Mundial">{{Citation| last =| first =| year =1978| title =Todas las medallas y todos los goles
| publisher=Goles Mundial, June 1978, Issue #1538| publication-place = web | page=| url=https://www.sportal.de/enttaeuschte-fans-des-hamburger-sv-gruenden-eigenen-klub-1-2014061038720900000| trans-title=All the medals and all the goals| access-date = 13 March 2023}}</ref> He played in the Poland national team during its "golden age" in the 1970s. With [[Grzegorz Lato]] at his right, [[Robert Gadocha]] at his left, and [[Kazimierz Deyna]] in support, Szarmach profited from the absence of [[Włodzimierz Lubański]] to lead the [[Poland national football team|Polish]] attack, the best at 1974 World Cup, with sixteen goals. While Lato finished first in the Cup in goals with seven, Szarmach, with five goals, also marked the competition with his imprint. He confirmed his status two years later at the [[football at the 1976 Summer Olympics|1976 Olympics]] in Montreal, winning the silver medal and the title of best player of the tournament, with nine goals.

Jowled and moustached, the Polish [[Forward (association football)|attacker]] had a [[Gaul|Gallic]] quality and thus easily fit in at [[AJ Auxerre]]. He won the favour of [[Guy Roux]] and of the Burgundian public, by scoring 94 goals between 1980 and 1985. After a brief period at [[En Avant Guingamp|Guingamp]] and a total of 32 goals in 61 games with the Poland national team,<ref>[http://www.kadra.pl/index.php?strona=historia&dzial=reprezentanci&litera=S Kadra.pl] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210204903/http://kadra.pl/index.php?strona=historia&dzial=reprezentanci&litera=S |date=2012-02-10 }}</ref> Szarmach began his career as a manager, in particular managing [[Clermont Foot Auvergne|Clermont-Ferrand]], then [[Berrichonne de Châteauroux|Châteauroux]] in the second division.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/players/trainers-fran-clubs.html |title=France - Trainers of First and Second Division Clubs |access-date=2008-04-17 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080430152450/http://www.rsssf.com/players/trainers-fran-clubs.html |archive-date=2008-04-30 }}</ref>
