In the announcement of his veterans PAOK responded Giannis Gounaris in a post on social media. The veteran of Biceps of the North and Olympiakos states that on the day of the assumption of the presidency of PAOK by Ivan Savvidis, he was removed from the association.
“However, from the day of the assumption of the presidency of PAOK by Ivan Savvidis, delete me from the PAOK veterans’ association and forbid me to enter Toumba”, he states characteristically.
Giannis Gounaris wrote in detail:
“On the occasion of the announcement of the veteran football players of PAOK, I want to state the following:
What every Paoktsis has to remember from my tenure as a football player of PAOK is that I am the first to participate in championship games during the 1970s.
Also, as a coach I received in 1991 a PAOK in a bad situation that had lost in the cup to Doxa Drama 2-0. The then president Voulinos told me that the goal of the team was to exclude Doxa Drama in the cup and in the championship to go to UEFA.
Finally, we eliminated Doxa Drama with 4-0 in Toumba and after that in the semifinals we eliminated the champion AEK with 2-0 in Toumba. So we reached the final with Olympiakos. That is, the goal was achieved. It is a fact that PAOK lost to Olympiakos in the championship, but I did my best with the players I had. This is football. Thus ended the 1991-1992 racing year.
That is why you, the veteran football players of PAOK, honored me in January 2005 for the great offer to PAOK in a special ceremony. Let me add that in the elections of 2000 you elected me second in votes after G. Koudas, vice-president of the veterans. However, from the day of the assumption of the presidency of PAOK by Ivan Savvidis, delete me from the PAOK veterans’ association and forbid me to enter Toumba “.
