Tadeusz Gebethner Research Paper

Tadeusz Gebethner was not only a great person on the soccer field, but he was an even better person off the field and should be recognized for that. The Gebethner family was a well known family in Poland due to their heavy involvement in the soccer team Polonia. On the field, Tadeusz was the first president of the soccer team as well as the captain of the team.
