PolandCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Zbigniew Boniek is a Polish former footballer and was most recently a UEFA vice-president. A former midfielder, who was also capable of playing mostly as a right winger and second striker, he is considered one of the greatest Polish players of all time, and was selected by Pelé as one of the 100 best living footballers in 2004. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
14 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1978–1986The archive holds 14 team sheets naming Zbigniew Boniek in Poland's starting line-up, from 1978-06-10 to 1986-06-16.
14 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
