Roman Franciszek Strzałkowski (6 October 1941 – 5 March 1977) was a Polish footballer who played as a centre half. He signed for Scottish club Hamilton Academical in June 1971, alongside fellow Polish internationals Alfred Olek and Witold Szygula.[3] They were "the first players from behind the Iron Curtain […] to play in Britain."[4] The deal was orchestrated by Hamilton's chairman Jan Stepek, who was himself Polish, in return for electronic goods being sent to Poland.[5] Strzałkowski also played in Poland for Zagłębie and Szombierki Bytom.[6]
