Club career

A dynamic and tough defender, who was developed by the then coach František Fadrhonc. The Czech coach, by moving Lakis Nikolaou from the attack to the center of defense and pairing him with Ravousis, created one of the best defensive duos in Greek football history, as the one complemented the other's capabilities.[1] Ravousis, being dynamic and agile, also contributed to the team's scoring, usually in set-pieces in the opponent's area. He was a key player in AEK's course to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the 1977. In the 12 years he played at AEK, he won 2 Championships and 2 Greek Cups including a domestic double in 1978. In the summer of 1984, and after he had first taken care to prepare his successor as the leader of the "yellow-black" defense, Stelios Manolas, Ravousis left AEK and wore the shirt of Levadiakos. After two seasons at the club of Livadeia, in the summer of 1986 he retired from as a footballer at the age of 32.[2]
