On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of AEK’s trip to Belgrade during the war in the country, Yannis Karalis made a post. As he states, this move by the Union was the biggest thing a Greek team has done in history.
The post of Yannis Karalis:
Solidarity. To the Serbs. Against war. In the American bombings. In NATO. An idea of ​​Dimitris Melissanidis, which was implemented by the players and the coaching team, without a second thought.
In the photos above:
-With Tomic’s jersey (photo-2, the only one I have, the UNACCEPTABLE, from the trip)) souvenir of LIFE, which I donated this year, very proudly, for the AEK Museum (photo-1)
-The…bag of PRIDE (photo 4-5). While they were being bombarded they prepared us… gifts: a badge, a pin, a notebook with a pen, matches and a badge. And a diary!
And of course the accreditation (of…SUPERSPORT), the boarding pass for Budapest, a match ticket and a “Partizanikos target” (photo-3).
Priceless heirlooms of life, incomparable, imperishable in time…
P.S. The greatest thing a Greek team has done in the history of our football. And the European Cup (…let’s say now) doesn’t beat it!
P.C1 We were also accompanied by the epitome of DANCE. The “1st Partisan of Europe”, Manolis Glezos (RIP??)…
P.C2 With my daughters then (not even) 3 years old and … 6.5 months, now that I think about it … Well done to the wife who grumbled a little but didn’t veto. Because if I had NOT gone on this two-day trip, I would have regretted it for a… lifetime.
It was one of those… once in a life time, as the… Americans say!!!
P.C3 During the stay on the mezzanine of the hotel in Budapest, I remember Melissanidis saying (after the phone calls… in French to Stathis about ENIC who did not want us to go): “The Americans do not guarantee a ceasefire. Whoever does not want to come, let him stay here and we will take him on the way back.”
No one was left behind.
