Lucjan Antoni Brychczy (nicknamed Kici; 13 June 1934 – 2 December 2024) was a Polish footballer who played as a striker.

Born in New Bytom, Upper Silesia, where after starting at local lower league clubs, he played for nearby the then third division Piast Gliwice.

[5] In 1949, his father was employed at the Military Mechanical Works in Łabędy (district of Gliwice), where he moved with his entire family.

[8] After the game, Brychczy, along with his brother Tadeusz, moved to nearby Piast Gliwice, a third-division team aiming for promotion to a higher league in the 1954 season.

Legia was coached by Hungarian János Steiner [pl], who aimed to build a strong team modeled after Honvéd Budapest.

[13] It is said that Real Madrid and AC Milan were interested in securing his services but during that time it was impossible to leave the country due to the restrictions of the communist regime.

[4] Brychczy lived for many years in an apartment on the sixth floor at the corner of Świętokrzyska and Emilii Plater streets.

In 1998, he was attacked in a stairwell after withdrawing a large sum of money from the bank, which resulted in an open clavicle fracture.

[16] Additionally, on 4 December, the Polish Sejm paid tribute to Lucjan Brychczy with a moment of silence during a parliamentary session.

[17] Before the first Legia match after Brychczy’s death, on 5 December, during a Polish Cup game against ŁKS Łódź at the Władysław Król Stadium, Legia Warsaw players took to the pitch wearing special shirts featuring Lucjan Brychczy’s image and the inscription ŻEGNAJ, LEGENDO!
