Biography

When Nikos was young he had no intention of becoming a football player, more so a famous footballer in a foreign country. He helped in his father's work and had every intention of go into the family business. The budding businessman was attending courses that would help him in his future career, until he started playing for a local team as a hobby. The sport won him and he went on becoming one of the most valuable players in Greece. Still he has managed to combine his business studies and his love for football, by creating a five-a-side near his birthplace.

Nikos is a very approachable person, adaptable and very friendly. He is so happy in the city of Newcastle as his is playing for the Toons. He enjoys being out and about in the town, and although the lifestyle here is as different from Greece, as the weather, he has adapted extremely well.

However, he still keeps many of his Greek habits. You can often find him out in the town on his own or with his friends, enjoying himself in one of the many city centre cafes. He is always chatting and laughing and he always finds time to answer questions and sign autographs. He spends his free time reading the Greek and English press, watching football and films on TV, as well as playing games on his computer and being on the Internet.
