History

Groclin Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski was founded on April 30, 1922 (under the name Dyskobolia Grodzisk). April 30 is the 120th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (121st in leap years), with 245 days remaining. ... Year 1922 (MCMXXII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar). ...

After several decades on lower league football, the club was taken over in the mid-1990s by Zbigniew Drzymała, president of the Groclin auto company, and enjoyed an instant string of promotions culminating in the promotion to top level football in 1997. 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Not having its own youth backbone, the club was based on players predominantly over 30 years, mostly with former league experience. After performing reasonably in the autumn period of the 1997/98 season, they experienced a sudden drop in form, which resulted in relegation. However within a year Groclin was in the top flight again. With many more younger and success-hungry players this time, the club performed disastrously in the autumn of 1999, gathering just five points from fifteen games. An unexpected (and some say suspicious) form increase in the spring resulted in eight victories in a row, which were more than enough to fight off relegation.

The club has been in the top flight ever since, enjoying the second league place on two occasions (2003 and 2005). The first runner-up title made them eligible to play in the UEFA Cup, in which they eliminated Hertha BSC and Manchester City (with just three goals in four games!) before failing to Girondins Bordeaux. The second flirt with the cup was less successful, resulting in a first round exit against RC Lens. The UEFA Cup is a football competition for European club teams, organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). ... Hertha BSC Berlin is a German football club based in Berlin. ... Manchester City F.C. is a football club based in Manchester, United Kingdom. ... FC Girondins de Bordeaux is a French football team, playing in the city of Bordeaux. ... Racing Club de Lens is a French football club which plays in the northern city of Lens, in the Pas-de-Calais département. ...
