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
