Roman Strazalkowski is a Polish former international 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. They were "the first players from behind the Iron Curtain […] to play in Britain." The deal was orchestrated by Hamilton's chairman Jan Stepek, who was himself Polish, in return for electronic goods being sent to Poland. Strazalkowski also played in Poland for Zagłębie and Szombierki Bytom.
