Tasos Vasiliou

Nicknamed "The Rock" (ο βράχος), Tasos Vasileiou was one of the best centre backs of the 1960's. He started his A' Division career at Apollon Athens before transferring in 1965 to AEK for 1,500,000 drachmas - a record for both clubs at that time. His carreer ended abruptly in 1969 allegedly after interference by junta-appointed Secretary General of Sports, Costas Aslanidis, himself. Vasileiou never returned to football in any capacity and instead became a successful food-stuffs merchant.
