Antoni Łyko
Polish footballer
Antoni Andrzej Łyko (27 May 1907 – 3 June 1941) was a Polish footballer (striker) and a member of the Poland national football team for the 1938 FIFA World Cup. However, he did not actually travel to Strasbourg for the tournament. His club at that time was Wisła Kraków. He was capped twice for Poland, with both games against Latvia. Implicated in support of the Polish Armed Resistance, Lyko was arrested by the Gestapo on the streets of Kraków during German occupation in World War II, and taken to Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was shot in June 1941.[1]
