[CLOVER 13] Panathinaikos FC Legends ♣
Attachment 91809
Name: Clover 13
Country: Greece
Founded: 21-03-2015
Club Level: 24
Post#1: Clover 13 showcase, theme, general info
Post#2: Clover 13 trophy room, season stats
Post#3: Clover 13 players statistics
I decided to switch the theme of Clover 13 team. (15/04/2017)
So, it was a good timing, to create my team's showcase and keep it updated.
Till now it was a selection of global legendary players, but I decided to make it a tribute to the team I am fan of, Panathinaikos FC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panathinaikos_F.C.
Panathinaikos is one of the biggest clubs here in Greece, with many national trophies, and some years back with some very solid good performances in European cups, which made him a well known team in Europe (or at least I hope it is :D)
Team is not at the best form right now, due to economic issues mostly, but ok.. once green always green.
Team’s emblem is clover.
Team’s ultra fans club name is “Gate 13”.
So TE11 team’s name “Clover 13”
The players that will participate in Clover 13 will be legendary players of Panathinaikos' history.
Most of them will be from 1980s+, as I am not so old to remember before that.
Below is a pool of players that are going to be used/renamed, trying to stick them in their original positions. (it is not finalized but a good pool to begin with.)
Goalkeeper
I retain only one GK in my team, and only one GK is in my heart.
Józef Wandzik , nickname “Mountain”, appearances 249, retired.
The nickname says everything needs to be said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn51b6QoVx4

Defenders
Giourkas Seitaridis, appearances 118, retired.
One of the most talentful DRs in Greece, contributing much in Euro 2004 cup winning. Played also for Porto, Atletico Madrid, Dynamo Moscow. Legendary goal and great appearance against ManU made Alex Ferguson question.. Who is this Giourkas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIOke70AOLs
Attachment 80668
Stratos Apostolakis, appearances 249, retired.
Switched from Olympiacos (main rival) to Panathinaikos and remained till the end. No much technique, but endless condition, strong right foot and very passionate player.
Attachment 80669
René Henriksen, appearances 136, retired.
Maybe my favorite central defender Panathinaikos had. Denmark's best libero. One of the few defenders that were defending with their brain and not their physic. Great Rene working as a scout now.
Attachment 80670
Giannis Kalitzakis , nickname “Ninja”, appearances 260, retired.
The opposite of Rene. Different era. The nickname “ninja” indicates what kind of defender he was. On the overall no-one would pass him… alive.
Attachment 80671
Marinos Ouzounidis, appearances 136, retired.
One more libero defender defending with his brain. Currrently he is the coach of Panathinaikos FC. Reached semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Attachment 80672
Takis Fyssas, appearances 130, retired.
A classic passionate DL with many appearances with Greece NT as well, winning the Euro 2004.
Attachment 80673
Defensive Midfielders
Angelos Basinas, appearances 199, retired.
Started as a DR, when Paulo Souza joined the team, he learnt him the DMC positions, and after that he became one of the best Greek DMCs. Very good right foot and FKs. This goal is sticked in my memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1ttEHxgWTM
Attachment 80674
Velimir Zajec, appearances 67, retired.
Not many appearances with the team but played in a good era and afterwards he also coached the team. A very technique player with great passing skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8VtgR9RVU
Attachment 80675
Midfielders
Juan José Borrelli , nickname "Jota Jota", appearances 86, retired.
Our beloved Argentinian "Jota Jota". Attacking player with great technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMlYn8FVwT8

Attachment 80676
Juan Ramón Rocha , nickname “The Indian”, appearances 227, retired.
Rocha is a whole chapter of Panathinaikos history. Great success as player, as coach, as academy coach, as scout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P86viB1Ghjw
Attachment 80677
Giorgos Karagounis, appearances 231, retired.
A great passionate midfielder, played also for Inter, Benfica and Fulham. He is one of those players that he has 100% but he will player 90’ like a 140%. Known also for his tendency to fall easily to gain some fouls lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_2PKrE9zgs
Attachment 80678
Attacking Midfielders
Giorgos Donis , nickname “The Train”, appearances 107, retired.
A classic AMR, flank midfielder, if he started to run, the train was unstoppable. One of the most historic iconic runs/goal in greek football history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emqV0Bo25vc
Attachment 80688
Dimitris Saravakos , nickname “The Kid”, appearances 254, retired.
A player with the finest technique, 4th scorer in clubs history, The Kid was loved and never been forgotten. Our number 7. Who f$#%s CR7? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JyoiGAXkGw
Attachment 80679
Mimis Domazos , nickname “The General”, appearances 510, retired.
The General holds the record for Panathinaikos appearances, one of the most iconic green figures. Scored 134 goals, he was the classic 10, I think in Top 11 he would be the assist legend. A mind, a player way forward from his era. Never seen him playing on the field.

Attachment 80680
Sebastián Leto , appearances 93, still on.
An attacking midfielder, mostly on left flank, if his legs were not fragile this player would make a top career in European fields. Finest technique, defenders mostly tackled him down with fouls in order to stop him, as getting him the ball is quite impossible. Fans love me as he is the typical stubborn, badass, latin player who can switch the tempo of the game.
He deserves your watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEB2GN7oIF0

Strikers
Krzysztof Warzycha, appearances 390, retired.
2nd in appearances in club history, 1st score in club history with 245 goals! A real goal machine, the striker we are looking in top11 but we cannot find. Every touch was a goal, his stats were crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14Bf7lX1u4
Attachment 80683
Marcus Berg , appearances 97, still on.
Marcus joined in 2013, and he is scoring a bunch of goals every season. Currently the most beloved figure in Panathinaikos squad and one of the best strikers ever joined the team. He is climbing top scorers of club history, right now at 8th position.
I love him not only for his finishing but also for his vision on the field. He is the mind of team’s attacking development.

Attachment 80682
Djibril Cissé , appearances 61, retired.
You know there are some players that just come in, they bond with the fans, and that’s it. Nothing to say about Djibril. I believe if the broken legs set back were not there, he would be one of the best strikers in Europe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm6ydkvny1Y
Attachment 80681
Nikos Liberopoulos, appearances 186, retired.
One very charismatic player with nice dribbling and good finishing. Right now he is the technical manager of the team.
Best dribble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koSGOwayeds
What a goal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2_E88QbIMg
