Summary

Born February 20, 1980 in Siedlce, Poland.

Initially on a year's loan, Artur signed for Celtic from Poland's Legia Warsaw on July 13th, 2005 [BBC] after Celtic failed with a £1.25m bid to sign the Finnish goalkeeper Antii Niemi [BBC].

After impressing in the first few months of his loan spell, interest from Arsenal was gathering momentum. Celtic moved to tie up the giant goalkeeper on a three-and-a-half year deal [BBC].

Boruc has appeared 14 times for Poland, and was the most impressive goalkeeper at the 2006 World Cup, getting plaudits in particular for a great performance v Germany, which sadly they lost by one nil through a late late goal by the opposition.

Quotes
"The man is a maverick and out of control. Something must be done about his actions."
Rangers Supporters Trust (Apr 08), shows that Boruc must be doing something right to rile those muppets up, not that it takes much to do so.

"The best opinions come, of course, from Artur Boruc. When asked about Scottish journalists who call him a clown he answers that he doesn’t give a shampoo. He accuses Scottish media of being pro-Rangers and claims that if it was Celtic which lost the Uefa Cup final there would be no excuses for the team’s poor performance (apparently the Scottish media try to justify Rangers’ horrible output in the final). "
(Boruc on the Scottish Media, June 08 Source)
