Iraklis played in a preseason tournament there which I attended. They were rubbish, though, and I don't recall any standout players.

Nobody paid attention to the Greek league in the 70s and 80s, and he tragically played only once at international level. Based on Iraklis's domestic record during his time there, he probably didn't get to play in Europe either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraklis_Thessaloniki_F.C.#Positioning_in_Greek_league Of course, if he had played well in that pre-season game in Bielefeld, MH would have posted about him here and he would have ended up at Real Madrid as a result of this exposure. His fault, really, for not taking a pre-season game seriously. |
