Details

Early in his career (1955–1962), Maszczyk played in local club in Siemianowice Śląskie. He moved to the well-renowned Ruch Chorzów in 1963 and played for Ruch till 1976 in 310 matches. He was instrumental in Ruch becoming three time national champion (1968, 1974, 1975) and winning the Polish Cup (1974).

During his career, Maszczyk was perhaps the most popular player of Ruch. He was well regarded for his flawless technique, exceptional work ethic, tirelessness, and quietness and aversion to media.

As an example of his style, Maszczyk was acclaimed as obviously moving the most in the field of all the players of the Polish national team that won the medal in the 1974 World Cup.

Funs called him "Zyga" (a Silesian diminutive for Zygmunt).

Later, Maszczyk moved to Germany, where he left the sports career. By 1981, he lived and work in Lüdenscheid.
