Michalis "Lakis" Sofianos was a Greek journeyman footballer (Arion Gouva, Panathinaikos (1953 - 1958), Panaigialios (1960), Panarkadikos, Olympiakos (1961), Aris (1962) and several others) whose best days were spent wearing the "trifilli". Many teams sought his services and his goal-scoring ability and many teams sought to off-load his difficult character. His substance abuse was well-known throughout his career and had earned him many run-ins with the law. He had been involved in a case of robbery (stealing his teammates' wallets from the dressing room) and had spent time in jail. He lost his arm in the early 1960s when he jumped off a train trying to escape the police.
Sofianos hanged himself, on August 2, 1989, in prison where he was being held on narcotics charges.
