A resident of the Bałuty area of Łódź, he was believed to be one of the greatest prospects of European football, however his struggle with alcohol, gambling and mental health problems prevented him from realising his full potential and is considered to this day one of the biggest unfulfilled talents.
An ŁKS Łódź legend, regarded as a phenomenal player in both Greece and Sweden aside from his native country, his career highlight is considered to be the 2000–01 and 2001–2002 seasons with Greek club Panathinaikos for whom he scored important Champions League goals in Europe.
