Lakis Sofianos

A journeyman footballer (Panathinaikos, Panaigialios, Panarkadikos, Olympiakos, Aris 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 police. He lost his arm in the early 1960's when he jumped off a train trying to escape the police. He died about 60 years old from a heroin overdose.
