Career
Surlit was known for his free-kick ability, which were regarded as one of the best in Polish history.[1] During one match, he told the defensive wall, "You better step back, because I can hurt you" before deliberately hitting the wall which resulted in a goal.[1] With Widzew, he helped eliminate Manchester United from the 1980-81 UEFA Cup with a free kick goal, and scored two goals against Juventus in 1982/83.[2]
After retiring, Surlit became a coach in the Polish lower leagues, but was frustrated that they could not do what was obvious to him.[1]
