Overview

“Years of innocence” signifies the return to the sports memories that have been the balm of the souls of our grandparents, our fathers and those younger people who have heard the narratives or studied the photographs of the great idols of older times. We return to the age of football, when figures of the sport emerged from a completely different setting compared to that of recent years. In this day and age, now that the era of “prosperity” has lapsed into decline, looking at those figures who excelled in conditions of extreme poverty, hunger, terror and the weight of History, offers the most exciting model for today's young people. Through football, we focus on a Greece, true but not ideal, that inspired us, that was lost and which we wish to restore in order to inspire us again, in the midst of such a gloomy juncture.

Overview

Panathinaikos, that made it to the European Champions Cup final in 1971, at Wembley Stadium, is the top Greek team of all time. That team was created by a schism and the restoration that followed it. Ferenc Puskas was the visionary of the team at the bench and its big stars were “General” Mimis Domazos and “Gunner” Antonis Antoniadis. The spirit of that team remains unchanged even today, fifty years later, when they gather together again at the Stadium of Alexandras Avenue.
