Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography
Stanisław Franciszek Baran (26 April 1920 – 12 May 1993[1]) was a Polish footballer who played as a forward. He started his career in Resovia Rzeszów, then, sometime in 1938 (at the age of around 18) moved to KS Warszawianka. Regarded as one of the most gifted players of these times, World War II stopped his career for a few years.
Baran was a member of the Poland national team at the 1938 FIFA World Cup,[2] but did not play in Poland's 5–6 loss to Brazil on 5 June 1938 in Strasbourg – he spent the whole match on the bench.[3] He played in the last international friendly of interwar Poland, a 4–2 win over Hungary on 27 August 1939 in Warsaw. In this game, he appeared on the field as a substitute in 31st minute.
In 1958, as a 38-year-old footballing veteran, Baran won the Polish title with ŁKS Łódź.[4]
