Georgios Delikaris

Who is Georgios Delikaris?

Georgios Delikaris is a former Greek football player, who spent the greatest part of his career at Olympiacos F.C. He is widely accepted amongst fans as one of the greatest Greek footballers of all time, coming in fourth in the Greek vote for the UEFA Jubilee Awards, first amongst former Olympiacos players. Nicknamed the "Gianni Rivera of Greece", he is also often compared to George Best, due to similarity in appearance and playing style. Though still revered as an Olympiacos legend, he is also well remembered for his switch to arch-rivals Panathinaikos F.C., for the last three years of his playing career, which ended prematurely, when he decided to retire at the age of 29.
