Happy New Year to everyone…
We step into the new year through memories, turning the hands of the calendar back to the now-distant 1984. We revisit stories from that time by leafing through the sports newspaper Balla, which was published every Tuesday.
We look back at:
- AEK, envisioning a new era with Andreas Zafeiropoulos at the helm
- The first major clash of the year between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos
- Entertaining predictions for 1984, as presented in Kazamia
- The millionaire determined to play football—at any cost
- Nikos Anastopoulos, emerging as the standout figure of the year just ended
- Christos Ziagos, posing the dilemma: “Either I go to Larissa, or I quit football!”
- Historic Argonautis Piraeus, the team associated with Giorgos Delikaris, celebrating its 60th anniversary
- The rivalry between Olympiacos and Iraklis, set to decide the basketball championship
- Giorgos Gavasias, who speaks with unwavering admiration for Nikos Anastopoulos
A journey back in time to the stories, passions, and sporting myths of January 1984.
