Igor Sypniewski (10 November 1974 – 4 November 2022) was a Polish professional footballer who played as a forward.^[1]

A resident of the Bałuty area of Łódź,^[2] he was believed to be one of the greatest prospects of European football, however his struggle with alcohol,^[3] gambling^[4] and mental health problems^[5] prevented him from realising his full potential and is considered to this day one of the biggest unfulfilled talents.^[6]^[4]

An ŁKS Łódź legend,^[7]^[8] regarded as a phenomenal player in both Greece and Sweden aside from his native country,^[9] his career highlight is considered to be the 2000–01 and 2001–2002 seasons with Greek club Panathinaikos for whom he scored important Champions League goals in Europe.^[10]
