Stanisław Ryszard Burzyński (19 October 1948 – 5 November 1991) was a Polish footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Burzyński started his playing career with Lechia Gdańsk in 1966, making his senior debut in the Polish Cup in the 3–0 victory over Wisła Nowe.
[4] In 1980, his career was put on hold after being sent to prison for driving under the influence of alcohol and killing an 86-year-old man in an accident.
Due to what Burzyński saw as a missed opportunity in his career, he fell into alcoholism, failing to regain his form at any of his final three clubs until he retired in 1988.
[6] After his career, Burzyński still struggled with his alcohol issues, committing suicide by jumping from his 9th floor apartment window on 5 November 1991.
