Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Gornik Zabrze (Polish pronunciation: ) is a Polish football club from Zabrze. The club has won numerous championships, and was a dominant force in the 1960s and 1980s. The club played in the 2nd level of Polish football during the 2009-10 season but was promoted back to the Ekstraklasa for the 2010-11 season in June 2010. The club plays in white or dark blue - red kit, and is based at the Ernest Pohl Stadium. Their main local rivals is Ruch Chorzow. The club was founded in 1948, three years after borders of Poland had switched westwards and the city of Zabrze (until then called Hindenburg) became part of the Polish Republic. Gornik was based on several smaller sports associations that had existed in Zabrze between 1945 and 1948 - KS Zjednoczenie, KS Pogon, KS Skra, KS Concordia. The clubs merged into a single organisation, which took the name "Gornik," the Polish word for "Miner," reflecting the fact that Zabrze was an important coal-mining centre. In 1950 Gornik joined the Opole Silesia regional league. In 1952 the club was promoted to the Polish Second Division. Their first game in the second tier was against Skra Cz stochowa, and was witnessed by 20,000, with Gornik winning 5-1. The whole season was very successful and Gornik finished second overall, behind Gornik Wa brzych. The club was promoted to the top division in 1955. In their first game in the top flight Gornik beat local rivals Ruch Chorzow 3-1, with 25,000 in attendance; the club finished the season in 6th place. In 1957, just a year after promotion, Gornik won its first championship of Poland. The team, with star, Ernest Pohl, was third in 1958...http: //booksllc.net/?l=de
