Watch this guys - this is what happens when any teams play at Toumba over the years. Enjoy:

Incredible.

What is the background of this man? Is he 100% Greek? How come there is a Greek settlement in Georgia? His website says: " Ivan Ignyatievich Savvidis was born the 8th child into a working-class family. He started working at tobacco factory in Rostov at the age of 21 and graduated from the University of Economics in Rostov at the age of 29". Hm...how one goes all the way from working at a tobacco factory to being one of the wealthiest men in Russia?

Savvidis is what is known as a Pontic Greek. Spaeks no Greek (but most Pontians speak a very old dialect of Greek - actually very close to ancient Greek) - but definitely descended from black sea Greeks. Most of them have now be repatriated back to Greece. Melissanidis is also a Pontic Greek BTW.

Savvidis is a close and personal friend of Putin. Savvidis was also in the Russian Parliament as an MP at one stage!! Fuck knows how he made his millions...

Alguém conhece este trinco? Parece ser interessante...

I saw him against Olympiacos. Plays CB or DM. Talented. Made a big mistake vs Olympiacos that lead to a goal but clearly he has a future. Good pace - good touch.

No one asks about all that. They are just happy he is spending money.. He is also constantly trying to get other Russians to part with their money in northern Greece in big projects.

Nah, I just try to be aware of the new hot prospects and he called my attention in Greece. You think he would be better than Benfica's hot prospects?

I have not seen enough of him to say that. What shocked me is watching him I thought he was 28. When I realised he was only 17 I was shocked.

If Benfica want him - they should take him now and not wait for the Greek system to corrupt his talent the way it did with Samaris.

I texted our scout, so let's see. But I'm sure he's very aware of Greek League.

So, to paraphrase, you are basically saying: Savvidis' money is like a sausage. You do not want to know how it was made.

For PAOK fans yes. Normal Greeks think who the fuck is this guy?

I remember his first press conference. He was explaining in Russian he was a descendant of Byzantine noblemen or some shit. Knew immediately he was mad.

Serbs are mad in the same way.In our family mythology, we all claim descendence from medieval Serbian noble families or the very Nemanjic dynasty even. I remember when I was at this large family reunion, they were talking about how we descended from this guy whose mother was the niece of the tsar Dushan. I was like: wtf

I think I can beat that story. My grandfather (Papou is the word for Grandfather in Greek) believed - 100% - wait for it - that he was a direct descendant of Alexander the Great. He truly believed it. He used to lift the sleeve of his shirt and bang on his veins of his arm saying 'in these veins runs the blood of Alexander the Great.' There was no doubt in his mind. Interestingly his surname was Megas..

Your Papou had a great argument in every discussion: He was right, because...well, Alexander the Great.

The last emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Constantine XI Palaiologos, had a Serbian mother. He was so fond of her, that he styled himself as Constantine XI Dragases (Dragash), rather than using his dynastic name. One of my best friend's last name is Dragash and his first name is- Konstantin. So not only am I of noble origins but I also have noble best friends.  That is what I call: Choose your friends.

Considering how small the population of the ancient Balkans was - we probably do have all these noble bloods swirling around to some degree. I mean there must be around 3 million greeks who look almost identical to Nikos Pappas so most Greeks are interrelated to a ridiculous degree.. Even down to his naturally sarcastic Greek expression..
