==Early life==
Deyna was born in [[Starogard Gdański|Starogard]] to Franciszek (1911–1976), a [[dairy]] worker, and Jadwiga (1917–1981),<ref>{{cite web | url = http://legia.com/index.php?typ=podstrona&id=91| title = Kazimierz Deyna| date = 20 June 2012 |language=pl |access-date=26 June 2012}}</ref> a [[housewife]]. He had six sisters and two brothers, Henryk and Franciszek, who also were footballers.

==Club career==

===Legia Warsaw===
Deyna began playing youth football in 1958 at his local club Włókniarz Starogard Gdański. In 1966 he made one appearance for [[ŁKS Łódź]] (on 8 October in a 0–0 draw against [[Górnik Zabrze]]).<ref name="Kariera">{{Cite web|url=http://deyna.info/kariera.php |title=Kariera |publisher=deyna.info |language=pl |access-date=1 September 2010}}</ref> But he was quickly snapped up by [[Legia Warsaw]]. In communist Poland each team had its own "sponsor". The Warsaw club was much more powerful as it was the military club. Moreover, it was the favourite club of the authorities. Deyna was called up into the army and in this way he had to play for [[Legia Warsaw]]. He made a name for himself during his first season, becoming one of Legia's most important players.
In 1969 and 1970 his team won the Polish Championship.<ref name="polish0">{{Cite news|url=http://polishsoccer.net/legia_warszawa.htm |title=Legia Warszawa |work=polishsoccer.net |access-date=25 February 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090124044755/http://polishsoccer.net/legia_warszawa.htm |archive-date=24 January 2009 }}</ref> After his performances at the 1974 World Cup, European top teams like [[AS Saint-Étienne]], [[AS Monaco FC|AS Monaco]], [[Real Madrid]] and [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] tried to acquire his services but he was unable to join, since the communist regime in Poland prevented him from moving to Western Europe. Real Madrid was so determined to acquire Deyna that they sent a shirt to Warsaw with his name and number "14".

===Manchester City===
Soon afterwards Deyna was transferred to English club [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]], making his debut in November 1978,<ref name="heroes0">{{Cite news|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=17201|title=Kazimierz Deyna|work=sporting-heroes.net|access-date=25 February 2009}}</ref> and being one of the first wave of overseas players to play in the English league.<ref name="times090225"/> His time in England was marred by a series of injuries, and he left in January 1981, shortly after Manchester City made a managerial change, having made only 43 appearances in all competitions. However, he was regarded as an exceptionally gifted playmaker and became a cult figure with City fans.<ref name="times090225">{{Cite news|author =Ric Turner|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_city/article5795355.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805132850/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_city/article5795355.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 August 2011|title=The 50 greatest Manchester City players|date=25 February 2009|work=[[The Times]]|access-date=25 February 2009}}</ref> Deyna scored thirteen goals in his time with the club. Furthermore, his seven goals in the last eight games of the 1978–79 season were crucial for Manchester City in their relegation battle.
