History of AEK Athens F.C.

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

AEK Athens F.C. is one of the greatest and most historical association football clubs in Greece. They have a long, unique and idiosyncratic history and has experienced both the highs and lows of the game. They won their first championship in 1939 and has gone on to become one of Greece's most successful football teams.

Origins

Pera Club
(1922)

The large Greek population of Constantinople, not unlike those of the other Ottoman urban centres, continued its athletic traditions in the form of numerous athletic clubs. Clubs such as Énosis Tataoúlon (Ένωσις Ταταούλων) and Iraklís (Ηρακλής) from the Tatavla district, Mégas Aléxandros (Μέγας Αλέξανδρος) and Ermís (Ερμής) of Galata and Olympiás (Ολυμπιάς) of Therapia existed to promote the Hellenic athletic and cultural ideals. These were amongst a dozen Greek-backed clubs that dominated the sporting landscape of the city in the years preceding World War I. After the war, with the influx of mainly French and English soldiers to Constantinople, many of the city clubs participated in regular competition with teams formed by the foreign troops. Taxim, Pera and Tatavla became the scene of weekly competitions in not only football, but also athletics, cycling, boxing and tennis.

Of the clubs in the city, association football was dominated by Énosis Tataoúlon and

Greco-Turkish War and settled in Athens and Thessaloniki.[1]

In 1924, the founders of AEK – a group of Constantinopolitan refugees (among them former athletes from the Pera Sports Club and the other Constantinopolitan clubs) – met at the athletic shop "Lux" of Emilios Ionas and Konstantinos Dimopoulos on Veranzerou Street, in the center of Athens and created AEK.[2] Their intention was to create a club that provided athletic and cultural diversions for the thousands of predominantly Constantinopolitan and Anatolian refugees who had settled in the new suburbs of Athens (including Nea Filadelfeia, Nea Ionia, Nea Chalkidona, Nea Smyrni).

AEK's first game was a 1–1 friendly draw against Atromitos in October 1924. Their first official match was a 4–2 win against Goudi on 14 December 1924.

AEK's football team grew rapidly in popularity during the 1920s, eclipsing the already-established Athens-based refugee clubs (

Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium
.

AEK's first president, Konstantinos Spanoudis (1871–1941), a journalist and associate of the then Greek Prime Minister, Eleftherios Venizelos, petitioned the government to set aside land for the establishment of a sports ground. In 1926, land in Nea Filadelfeia that was originally set aside for refugee housing was donated as a training ground for the refugees. AEK began using the ground for training (albeit unofficially) and by 1930 the property was signed over to the club.

In 1927 Panathinaikos, Olympiacos and AEK decided to break away from the Athens regional league after a dispute with the fledgling Hellenic Football Federation (EPO). They formed an alliance called P.O.K. (acronym for Podosfairikes Omades Kentrou or Panathinaikos Olympiacos Konstantinoupolis) and started organising friendly matches against each other and several continental European clubs. This also marked the start of the so-called Easter Cup. In 1928, though, the dispute ended and AEK, along with the other P.O.K. clubs, entered the HFF fold once again.

In 1928, Venizelos approved the plans to build what was to become the club's home ground for the next 70 years, the AEK Stadium.

Runner-up: Athens Championship: 5 (1930, 1931, 1937, 1938, 1939)

In 1930, the AEK Stadium was completed. The area where the stadium was located had been previously used as the training ground of the club. The first home game, in November 1930, was an exhibition match against Olympiacos that ended in a 2–2 draw.

In 1932, AEK won the inaugural Greek Cup, beating Aris 5–3 in the final. The goals for AEK were scored by Ilias Iliaskos, Nikos Baltas (twice), Oikonomou (O.G.) and Kostas Negrepontis, a veteran of the original Pera Club of Constantinople. This was also the first ever title won by the club.

In 1933, former star striker, Kostas Negrepontis took over the managerial guidance of AEK. He managed to build a formidable team which was led by Kleanthis Maropoulos and Tryfon Tzanetis, the best pair of forwards at the time and one of the best in Greek football's history. Other important players included Christos Ribas, Michalis Delavinias, Georgios Magiras and Spyros Sklavounos.

The club's success during the late 1930s was highlighted by the Panhellenic Championships in 1939 and 1940. The 2–1 win in the 1939 Cup final, goals by Alekos Chatzistavridis and Vasilios Manettas, marked the first ever double (domestic Championship and Cup) in the history of Greek football.

Honours Won: Christmas Cup: 1 (1943) Easter Cup: 1 (1944)

Runner-up: —

The

Battle of Greece (1941) and during the Axis occupation of Greece
sporting events were scarce.

During the

Greco-Italian War in a battle at Pogradec, AEK player K. Vavanis was badly injured by a mortar bomb
that exploded in front of him. During the spring of 1942 Panathinaikos and AEK were to give a friendly match to raise money for a hospital but were asked to give part of the revenue to the occupation forces. Tasos Kritikos and Kleanthis Maropoulos, who served as captains of the two clubs, refused and the 15,000 spectators turned into one of the largest protests of the time. The game became known as the "Resistance Derby". In June 1944 AEK player Spyros Kontoulis was killed by the Nazi forces during his attempt to escape while being transported to Kaisariani in order to be executed for being part of the resistance.[3]

The 1942–43 Panhellenic Championship was an attempt to restart sporting activity but was not completed.

The Post-World War II years (1945–1952)

With English coach Jack Beby at the wheel, veteran players such as Maropoulos, Tzanetis, Delavinias and Magiras, along with new generation players such as Kostas Poulis, Goulios and Pavlos Emmanouilidis, AEK won the Cup of 1949 and 1950, beating Panathinaikos by 2–1 and Aris by 4–0.

AEK won also the Athens regional championship of 1950, but the play–off games for the Panhellenic Championship were not played, due to many players being called up for a prolonged training camp for the national team.

A new generation of stars (1952–1959)

Honours Won: Christmas Cup: 1 (1957), Greek Cup: 1 (1956), Easter Cup: 2 (1955, 1958)

: 2 (1954, 1958)

The early 1950s saw the addition of the next generation of star footballers in Giannis Kanakis, Andreas Stamatiadis and Stelios Serafidis and along with Poulis and Emmanouilidis.

In 1955, AEK signed Kostas Nestoridis, a player who would become the greatest forward of his era. His former team Panionios did not consent with the transfer, so Nestoridis was forced to sit out for two seasons, due to the restraining law which applied at the time. In his first season at the club Nestoridis showing his class, finished as the top scorer of the league.

AEK won the Cup of 1956, this time beating Olympiacos by 2–1 in the final.

1959–60 season

In the first season of the newly formed Alpha Ethniki, AEK under Lukas Aurednik, were strengthened with Giannis Marditsis and Alekos Sofianidis, while Kostas Poulis left after 11 years. In the first matchday on 25 October, Giannis Kanakis became the scorer of the first goal of the institution in the 3rd minute against Ethnikos Piraeus. The end of the championship found AEK and Panathinaikos tied at the top and thus the champion was to be determined by a play-off match. In the match that took place on 31 July, despite taking the lead, AEK eventually lost, as the "greens" overturned the score and won by 2–1. Kostas Nestoridis won the top scorer award for the second time in a row.

Spyros Pomonis was promoted from the academies, while Giannis Kanakis retired after 12 years of service. A series of incidents with the referees prevented AEK from claiming the league and in combination with some bad results, led in Aurednik stepping down as the manager of the club.

Nikos Goumas hired the Hungarian-German manager,

Jenő Csaknady who brought an disciplined model, innovating training methods and new tactical systems. Mimis Papaioannou, Aleko Yordan, and the Syrian Ibrahim Mughrabi, the first foreign player to ever play for a Greek club, were among the arrivals. AEK finished at the top, tied with Panathinaikos and a championship play-off was set. Panathinaikos initially took the lead, the yellow-blacks made it 3–1, but the greens responded makng the final 3–3. Thus, by the regulation of the time AEK won the title due to a better a goal ratio.[4] As AEK won their first post-war league, Nestoridis emerged as the league's top scorer for the fifth time and the last of his career with 23 goals, making a record of consecutive wins of the award.[5]

Kostas Papageorgiou and Giorgos Karafeskos were among the additions. AEK played for the first time in their history in the UEFA competitions, for the preliminary round of the European Cup, where they were eliminated by Monaco. AEK ended up finishing third, but they won the Cup, even though the final did not took place, since the other semi-finalists, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos were disqualified due to serious incidents of their fans in the semi-final at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium.[6] After five consecutive wins of Kostas Nestoridis, the league's top scorer was Mimis Papaioannou, who with 29 goals kept the award within the club. In the end of the season Müller left the club due to financial differences with the renewal of his contract.

1965–66 season

In the summer of 1965, Tryfon Tzanetis in his fifth and final spell in the club, strengthened the roster with the great transfers such as

Real Madrid, Mimis Papaioannou had an impressive performance and the Spaniards made a huge offer for his acquisition. The club's refusal resulted in his withdrawal from the club.[7] Ηowever, shortly before the derby with Panathinaikos, AEK offered a new contract to Papaioannou, who returned to the team.[8] In the away match against Panathinaikos, while the score was at 1–1, the referee awarded an off-side goal to the greens and as a result incidents occurred with the fans entering the pitch, which resulted in suspension of the match and its award to Panathinaikos.[9] As a protest, AEK were absent in the next matchday, but with the fear of relegation they were forced to return to the championship, eventually finishing third. Papaioannou won the top scorer award for the second time in his career with 23 goals, succeeding Nestoridis in being the leader of the team. In the Cup, AEK qualified to the final against Olympiacos and the HFF set the match on 10 July, at the Karaiskakis Stadium, which brought reaction of Olympiacos, who announced their intention not to show up. Thus, on 7 July the HFF, unable to convince Olympiacos to change their mind, declared AEK as the Cup winners.[10]

Jenő Csaknády returned after three and a half years. While AEK were covering the distance for the title race, the government was overthrown and a military dictatorship was imposed on the country, resulting in the interruption of the championship. AEK were not affected by the interruption and continued in covering up the distance, but two draws in the final matchdays ended their chances of winning the championship, finishing second. They also competed in the Balkans Cup, finishing first in their group and qualified in the final against Fenerbahçe. In the first leg at Nea Filadelfeia, AEK won by 2–1, but in Istanbul, the Turks won by 1–0 and a third match was set at Mithat Paşa, which they lost with 3–1.

1968–69 season

Branko Stanković

A transitional year for AEK, with the hiring of Branko Stanković. Giorgos Lavaridis was promoted from the academies. Under the Yugoslav, the team's model was based on tactics, technique, physical strength and discipline. The inability of the players to quickly adapt to the new model, resulted in a bad start in the league, but in time the team started to increase their performance. On 27 October they defeated Olympiacos by 2–3 with Papaioannou playing as goalkeeper from the 85th minute, due to the suspension of Serafidis.[13] AEK were consistently close in claiming the title, until the 22nd matchday when they were defeated at home by Olympiacos, which resulted in their downfall and their sixth-place finish. However, AEK made one of the most impressive European campaigns, eliminating Jeunesse Esch in first round and AB in the second round and became the first Greek club to reach the quarter-finals of a European competition, where they were eliminated by Spartak Trnava.

At the same time Alekos Sofianidis, Aleko Yordan, Andreas Stamatiadis and Kostas Papageorgiou departed.

Even though from Panathinaikos' side seemed that they were against the conduction of the match, Barlos, demanded the match to be held and thus the match took place normally with AEK losing by 1–0, finishing 4th in the league.[25]

In a strange decision, Zafiropoulos hired Nikos Alefantos. AEK continued their instability in their performances and the fans were running out of patience. In a home game Alefantos subbed off Thomas Mavros, who had returned after an injury, with the crowd disapproving the substitution. In the press conference of the match, Alefantos spoke out against Mavros, considering him as a "finished" footballer.[28] Those incidents led in the departure of Mavros, after 11 years in the club. Shortly after, the bad results brought Alefantos to the exit door, as well and AEK completed the season with Nikos Christidis as an interim coach. AEK did not compete in the last three games of the league, due to a strike declared by the Footballers' Union[29] and were punished with a deduction of six points, finishing in the seventh place.

AEK returned to the Nea Filadelfeia Stadium. Håkan Sandberg departed and on the other hand, the club proceeded in the additions of Giorgos Savvidis, Henrik Nielsen, Vasilios Vasilakos, Georgios Koutoulas and Christos Vasilopoulos. Todor Veselinović was hired for the position of the coach. AEK were in the title race, with their only contenders being AEL. After the victory of AEL over Panathinaikos, their footballer, Georgi Tsingov, was tested positive in a dopping test and the case was transferred to the courts becoming known as the "Tsingov case". In the Cup, AEK reached the round of 16, facing Olympiacos. After the away 1–1, a scandal broke out on the eve of the rematch, as the former player of AEK, Dinos Ballis visited the hotel where the team were located with a bouquet for Theologis Papadopoulos and created suspicions that he was trying to bribe him. Olympiacos the game won by 1–3, eliminating them from the Cup and the story continued in courts. The Koskotas brothers of Olympiacos were accused of trying to bribe Papadopoulos and Vasilakos through Ballis, resulting in the punishment of only the latter for attempted bribery.[30] In the "Tsingov case", AEL were initially punished with zeroing for the match, a 2-point deduction and punishment of the player, which brought AEK to the top of the table. AEL appealed with their fans rallied, resulting in the alteration of the regulation and the return of the points, which led in their eventual conquest of the championship.[31] In the last game of the season at Nea Filadelfeia, the tension between the ultras of the club and Andreas Zafiropoulos peaked, when the riot police invaded the ultra's stand which resulted in heated encounters, that led in his withdrawal from the presidency.[32] Henrik Nielsen with 21 goals finished the season as the league's top scorer.

Furthermore, Victor Klonaridis and Panagiotis Kone returned to the club after many years. On the contrary, Dimitrios Kolovetsios, Dídac Vilà, Ronald Vargas, Christos Aravidis, Hugo Almeida and Tomáš Pekhart departed. In the third qualifying round of the Champions League, AEK faced CSKA Moscow and were eliminated continuing in the play-off round of the Europa League. There, they eliminated Club Brugge and returned in the group stage of the Europa League and they were placed with Milan, Rijeka and Austria Wien finishing second and advanced to the knock-out stage. In the round of 32, they faced Dynamo Kyiv and were eliminated on away goals. In the winter transfer period, AEK signed Masoud Shojaei and Niklas Hult. In February, PAOK were punished with a 3-point deduction and a home ban against AEK, due to the suspension of their home game against Olympiacos. In the midnight before the match, the verdict of PAOK's appeal came out returning the points to the team and lifting their home ban. So, under these conditions, AEK played against PAOK and in the 90th minute, Fernando Varela scored a goal with Maurício coming in the course of the ball from an offside position. The referee initially counted the goal, but later called it off. This resulted in the major shareholder of PAOK, Ivan Savvidis storming in the pitch and attack the referee, with a revolver revealing in his belt. The referee interrupted the match and later returned to the pitch with the players of PAOK to continue the match with the score at 1–0, but the yellow-blacks refused to come out and the match was abandoned. The case was transferred to courts, where AEK was vindicated and were awarded the match with 0–3 and PAOK were punished with a 3-point deduction. AEK were crowned champions and held a title party in front of their under-construction stadium. In the Cup, AEK reached the final for the third consecutive year, where they faced PAOK, for the second year in a row, where they lost their chance for a domestic double, losing by 2–0.

Kit

Crest and Colours

Flag of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Emblem of the Palaiologos dynasty.

In 1924, AEK Athens adopted the image of a double-headed eagle as their emblem. AEK Athens was created by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the years following the Greco-Turkish War and subsequent population exchange and the emblem was chosen as a reminder of their lost homelands representing the club's historical ties to Constantinople. After all, the double-headed eagle is featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church, whose headquarters are in Constantinople and served as Imperial emblem under the Palaiologos dynasty.

AEK Athens' main emblem underwent numerous minor changes between 1924 and 1982. The design of the eagle on the shirt badge was often not identical to the design of the eagle depicted on official club correspondence, merchandise and promotional material. All designs were considered "official" (in the broadest sense of the word), however, it was not until 1982 that an identifiable, copyrighted design was established as the club's official shirt and badge. The emblem design was changed in 1989 and again in 1993 to the current shield design.

Yellow and black, the colours AEK Athens has adopted for their kits come from it connection with Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire. Yellow symbolises the hope that the Greek refugees will once be able to return to their homes while black symbolises the grief for the loss of their homes. The colours are also featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church.

The third kit is usually blue and white colour taken from the Greek flag. For a couple of season the third kit used to be dark scarlet, a colour which was featured in the Empire's flag.

AEK Athens have always worn predominantly striped or plain yellow shirts, black shorts and yellow or black socks. Variations mostly include all-black or all-yellow kits. The most notable exception were the kits manufactured by Italian firms Basic and

Kappa which were used during the 1990s. They featured a double-headed eagle across the kit and the 1994 version was voted "Kit of the season" by UEFA
