Origin
and identity

Tomasz Wójtowicz helped Poland win its first men's world championship and the 1976 Olympic title.

Coach Hubert Wagner made his powerful attacker central to an adaptable system. Wójtowicz combined net defence with attacking reach, including influential use of the back row.

World gold in 1974 was followed by Olympic gold in Montreal. Five European silver medals and a European Champions Cup victory in Italy added breadth to his playing record.
