Narodil sa v malebnej obci Stro\u010d\u00edn, ktor\u00e1 je dnes s\u00fa\u010das\u0165ou okresu Svidn\u00edk. Detstvo mal \u0165a\u017ek\u00e9, neraz musel za\u0165a\u0165 zuby. Jeho otec Gregor mal poves\u0165 \u010destn\u00e9ho a pracovit\u00e9ho chlapa. <\/p>\n
Drel na svojom gazdovstve, pracoval ako furman, jeho l\u00e1skou boli kone a les. Zv\u00e1\u017eal \u013eu\u010fom drevo, vypom\u00e1hal pri \u017eatv\u00e1ch. \u201eNe\u013eahk\u00e9 \u010dasy nastali, ke\u010f otca ozna\u010dili za kulaka. Udalosti pred a po boli pre rodinu zdrvuj\u00face. N\u00e1s to zocelilo. <\/p>\n
Nikomu sme ni\u010d nevyt\u00fdkali, ale udalosti a spomienky v n\u00e1s ostali natrvalo. V 50. rokoch bol dvakr\u00e1t vo v\u00e4zen\u00ed. Odmenou za tvrd\u00fa robotu mu boli bitky a elektrick\u00e9 \u0161oky, po ktor\u00fdch bol fyzicky i psychicky zlomen\u00fd. Dva roky trvalo, k\u00fdm sa z toho dostal. \u013dudia ho pritom mali radi. Bol to ve\u013emi dobr\u00fd, starostliv\u00fd a m\u00fadry \u010dlovek,\u201c hovor\u00ed J\u00e1n Medvi\u010f. <\/p>\n
Inak, otca sa \u017eand\u00e1rom na prv\u00fdkr\u00e1t nepodarilo zatkn\u00fa\u0165, br\u00e1nila ho rodina i susedia z dediny. Museli pr\u00eds\u0165 vojaci\u2026<\/p>\n
\u0164a\u017ek\u00e9 detstvo<\/p>\n
Ke\u010f otca v roku 1955 zat\u00fdkali druh\u00fdkr\u00e1t, mama plakala. \u201eChlop\u010de, co budzeme robic?,\u201c p\u00fdtala sa. Ale dod\u00e1vala e\u0161te nie\u010do: \u201eDzeci, nerobce \u013eudzom zle, tak jak robili n\u00e1m.\u201c Boli to n\u00e1ro\u010dn\u00e9 \u010dasy, ale Medvi\u010fovci to zvl\u00e1dli. Samozrejme, chlapci sa tie\u017e nau\u010dili tvrdo pracova\u0165 a fungova\u0165 skromne. A u\u017e v t\u00fdch \u0165a\u017ek\u00fdch \u010dasoch aj kopa\u0165 do lopty. \u201eS futbalom som za\u010d\u00ednal v \u00b4kravskej\u00b4 akad\u00e9mii,\u201c r\u00e1d hovor\u00ed J\u00e1n Medvi\u010f. <\/p>\n
Do pr\u00edzna\u010dn\u00e9ho \u201ehandr\u00e1ku\u201c sa kopalo pri pasen\u00ed kr\u00e1v. \u201eKo\u013eko pastierikov sa n\u00e1s zi\u0161lo, to\u013ek\u00ed sme hrali. Dvaja na dvoch, traja na troch. Cibrili sme techniku, vym\u00fd\u0161\u013eali k\u00fasky. Mali sme v\u00fdborn\u00fa kond\u00edciu, lebo sme hrali aj tri hodiny v kuse. Pitn\u00fd re\u017eim zabezpe\u010doval potok, stravovac\u00ed zas chlieb s mas\u0165ou a cibu\u013eou.\u201c <\/p>\n
Otcovi sa to a\u017e tak nep\u00e1\u010dilo. Dr\u017eal sa z\u00e1sady, \u017ee \u010dloveka \u017eiv\u00ed tvrd\u00e1 pr\u00e1ca. \u201eKe\u010f sme s bratom Mi\u0161om kopali do otvorenej stodoly, ktor\u00e1 predstavovala br\u00e1nu, aj sa hneval. Co te\u013eo do tej gu\u013ei kopece, co vas tota gu\u013ea budze \u017eivic? – p\u00fdtal sa n\u00e1s,\u201c hovor\u00ed J\u00e1n Medvi\u010f. Nu\u017e, tatko bol m\u00fadry chlap, ale tu sa netrafil. \u00c1no, tota gu\u013ea \u017eivila oboch synov.<\/p>\n
