Kazimierz Deyna monument in Warsaw, Bronze monument in Śródmieście district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Kazimierz Deyna monument is a 2.2-metre bronze sculpture by Tomasz Radziewicz standing on a low half-metre granite plinth by Łazienkowska Street, before the entrance to the Stadion Wojska Polskiego stands. Deyna wears a Legia shirt with the number 10 on his back, running on bent legs, balancing his body and swinging his arms as he dribbles the ball at his foot. The word "Deyna" is carved on the front of the plinth.
The monument was initiated by Legia Warsaw fans, who formed a construction committee with club officials and former players and raised funds; 20 entries came in for a two-stage competition, and fans chose the winning design in an online vote. The bronze was unveiled on 6 June 2012 by Mariola Deyna, the player's widow, before the European Championship. It is the first monument to any Polish footballer.
