FC Midtjylland fires its goalkeeper after just four months for writing an unauthorised book
Arek Onyszko has been fired by Super League club FC Midtjylland following the publication of his autobiography in which he expressed sympathy for the Hells Angels and homophobic views.
‘F**king Polak’ (F**king Polack) includes details of Onyszko’s time at Odense football club OB, which fired him when he was convicted of assaultingt his ex-wife, and his hatred of homosexuals.
‘I hate gays, I really do. I think it’s f**king disgusting to hear them talk to each other as if they are girls. I can’t be in the same room as someone who’s gay. Look at them kissing each other – it’s sickening,’ the Polish goalkeeper writes in the book to be published on Monday.
FC Midtjylland employed Onyszko a week after OB fired him in June.
In a recent interview to publicise his book, the keeper defended his homophobia, saying that as a Catholic he could not accept ‘those kind of people’.
Jens Ørgaard, head of sport at the club, said Onyszko had been asked to concentrate on his football activities, not on writing a book. As far as the club was aware, he had dropped the project.
‘We felt we did the right thing in the summer when we offered Arek Onyszko a new chance after his conviction. He was punished and like everyone else needed help to get back on his feet again. But lately he has abused our trust… despite warnings, he continued to work on the book project and FCM had no knowledge of its existence until now,’ reads a statement released by the club today.
Onyszko has yet to respond to the club’s decision.
