Gryf Słupsk is a Polish multi-sports club, mostly known for its association football team, from Słupsk, Pomerania. ==History== Gryf was created at the end of 1956 due to a merger of four local factory clubs: ''KS Unia'' operating next to the local furniture factory (''Słupskie Fabryki Mebli''); ''KS Traktor'' – next to the agricultural mechanics plant (''Zakłady Naprawczych Mechanizacji Rolnictwa'' abbreviated to ''ZNMR''); ''KS Stal'' the club of "Famarol" agricultural tools factory (''Fabryka Narzędzi Rolniczych FAMAROL''); and ''KS Sparta'' which played next to the "Sezamor" ship equipment and tools factory (''Słupska Fabryka Sprzętu Okrętowego „SEZAMOR”''). The club's chosen colours were white and green. The football sections of the club was founded in 1957. It was then that the Polish Football Association brought to life the III Division, from which Gryf was allowed to start from. The first coach was Bronislaw Koziar, a former Pogoń Lwów player. Prior to that, from 1946 KS Gwardia Słupsk functioned, with the club colours red - white - blue, which was the only predecessor of the later ZGKS Gryf. Official, historical and archival data frequently refers to Gryf from 1946 onwards. However, this is a common mistake as the clubs only merged in 1964, when it changed it became Gryf and changed to the tricolour, which are official emblems of the club to this day. For seven years (1957–64) the clubs operated as two completely different and independent clubs alongside each other. The School of Civic Military Police began operating in Słupsk in 1945. At the end of the first year of its operations, the idea to set up their own sports club arose. The infrastructure had to be based on city-owned facilities, but the club was operated by school staff and nearly all the members were school attendees. First meeting and discussions on the future of the club took place April 26, 1946, and the club officially came into being on 7 May. The club was called ''Klub Sportowy Centrum Wyszkolenia Milicji Obywatelskiej'' or ''KS CWMO'' for short. The first president was Józef Romański. In 1947 KS CWMO was soon renamed Gwardia. It gained promotion to the West Pomeranian A-klasa. Already in 1947, KS CWMO players tried their hand at international matches, losing to the representation of the Hungarian police 3:9 and 4:0. However, the level of football of the Hungarian at the time was clearly superior to other countries in Europe, the time of the "golden eleven" - runners-up in the World Cup of 1958. Gwardia was the A-klasa in 1948 took fourth place and won the fair play trophy. Season later they were Western Pomerania champions. It was the first team from the region of Słupsk, which won the title. Gwardia was consistently ahead of the three Szczecin clubs, ''Spójnia'', ''Ogniwo'' and ''Kolejarz''. After expanding the II Division in 1950, Gwardia was admitted to the league. In the first season they came in last place in their group. However, in the play-off matches to keep the beat Gwardia Koszalin 4:2 and 5:0. The following season, they performed better, and they found themselves in fifth place, ahead of clubs from Bydgoszcz, Gdańsk, Szczecin and Toruń. But another league pyramid reorganization, reducing the number of teams in the league, meant Gwardia found themselves in the third division. Two years later, due to the dissolution of the Citizens Militia Training Centre ''( Centrum Wyszkolenia Milicji Obywatelskiej)'', Gwardia was too disbanded. Such a turn of events was already predicted by journalists. In 1948, "Kurier Słupski" published an article, exposing the loose link of the civic military police clubs and the cities they reside in, as moving of headquarters was frequent. After six years of the clubs life history has confirmed the validity of the thesis. Fortunately, in 1959, the Gwardia was reactivated. In 1964, it merged with Gryf, forming the current club existing since 1956. Gwardia had the colours red, white and blue, as did all the Gwardia clubs such as Wisła Kraków, Gwardia Koszalin, Błękitni Kielce and Olimpia Poznań. ''Ludowy Klub Sportowy Gryf'', operated until 1958, when it was renamed ''Zjednoczony Klub Sportowy Gryf'' (''ZKS Gryf''), operating at a furniture factory. President of the club was then the CEO Slupsk Furniture Factory, Jerzy Albrecht. A large contribution to the club was made by factory workers Zbigniew Bieńkowski, Aleksander Bucki and Jerzy Razik. In 1964 there was the first merger, and post-merger with Gwardia Slupsk, uniformed activists joined the club. Then, the club changed its prefix name to ''ZKS'' and then ''ZGKS''. This state of affairs lasted until the early '80s, when the club adopted the name Guards Sports Club (GKS) "Gryf". In the summer of 1988 there was a second team already fused with Czarni Słupsk. The next name change came in 1990, after the end of the autumn round of the league. At the general meeting of the members of the club, it was decided to remove the ''Klub Gwardyjski'' from the name. Gryf is the sole heir of the whole tradition of football in Słupsk. Famous players over the years have included: Paweł Kryszałowicz, Iwan Tomasz, Marek Godlewski, Maciej Stolarczyk, Czesław Boguszewicz and Ryszard Szpakowski. There were also many others who have appeared in the Polish national youth temas or played in the top division in later years. The most successful period is a struggle in the second league in 1981-1983 seasons and reached the 1/8 Polish Cup final in the 1976/1977 season. In those years the stadium at Green Street was visited by teams from Ekstraklasa. After the regional competition they eliminated Arka Gdynia, but were knocked out by Legia Warsaw on November 9, 1977 by a score of 0:3. The visiting Legia played a very strong side with Kazimierz Deyna, Marek Kusto, Lesław Ćmikiewicz, and Adam Topolski. Their coach was Andrzej Strejlau. In the 1981/1982 season, Gryf won fifth place at the end of the tournament in the second league.〔http://www.gryf-slupsk.pl/dzial/Historia-Gryfa-Slupsk〕 Since then the club has played in the III, IV and V divisions.〔http://www.pomorskifutbol.pl/druzyna.php?id=738〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gryf Słupsk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
