He participated in the legendary 1938 FIFA World Cup game Poland - Brazil 5-6 (5 June 1938 in Strasbourg, France).

During the Second World War, Nyc returned to Upper Silesia, where for a while played for a German minority team 1. FC Katowice. Called up to the German Army, continued his career in the military teams of the Luftwaffe and the garrison of Berlin.

After the war Nyc unlike many of his fellow Silesian-German soccer players remained in his homeland under Communist Poland. Initially, he had many problems with the Communist government, which regarded him as a traitor. However, a group of players from Kraków and Warsaw claimed that he had never betrayed Poland and had actively supported Polish underground organizations.
