Back then… 5 December 1977 | 05 Dec. 2025

We turn back time… as we do every Friday in our “Back then” segment.
We open the newspaper Apogevmatini, dated Monday, 5 December 1977. Forty-eight years ago. And we discover…

  • Andreas Papandreou’s messages to Konstantinos Karamanlis, shortly after the parliamentary elections
  • The lament of a refugee: “In Istanbul we were giaourides, and here we’re treated as foreigners”
  • Two shipwrecks in Evia, with one fatality
  • The explosion of a Boeing aircraft in Malaysia, leaving more than 100 dead after a hijacking
  • The schoolteacher who wasn’t actually teaching lessons… but giving romantic ones
  • The political plans of Ioannis Zigdis and EDIK
  • Thomas Mavros, who had already begun to prove unbeatable, scoring a hat-trick against Panachaiki
  • Panathinaikos, who sealed the match against OFI from the very first minute
  • Olympiacos, who stumbled against their fellow Piraeus side, Ethnikos
