Leonard Malik (25 October 1908 – 10 October 1945) was a Polish footballer.[1] He played in one match for the Poland national football team in 1930.[2]
Personal life
Malik's cousin Richard was also a footballer, who played for Germany.[3]
Malik, who briefly served in the Polish Army in 1929, was an ethnic German of socialist views which caused him to be jailed at Bereza Kartuska Prison in 1938-39 as an opponent of the interwar Polish government. During the German occupation of Poland in the Second World War, Malik ran a casino for Wehrmacht personnel in Pionki.[3] Accused of being a Gestapo informant, he was arrested by the Polish People's Republic and died in a forced labour camp on 10 October 1945.[3]
