1897 – The First Greek Football Players Abroad | 13 Nov. 2024

Nikolas Angelidis takes listeners on a fascinating journey back to the roots of Greek football history. The show transports us to Switzerland at the turn of the 20th century, where the first Greek footballers made their mark abroad from 1897 to 1900. Among them were the Vryonis brothers, whose path we follow both in Switzerland and back in Greece, where they eventually returned to make significant contributions to Greek football.

Panikos Vryonis, one of the brothers, became a central figure in the football division of Ethnikos Athens and later founded the legendary football team in Goudi. He is celebrated as the “father” of Greek football, laying down the foundations of the sport in Greece. The historical recounting is enriched with period music, featuring the hits of the 1900s, blending sport and culture in a nostalgic tribute to the origins of Greek football.
