Sotiris Ninis
Sotiris Ninis is an ethnic Greek football midfielder who currently plays for Panathinaikos.
Ninis was born in Chimarra Northern Epirus (southern Albania) on April 3, 1990. He debuted with the senior squad of Panathinaikos on January 7, 2007 and went on to score his first goal on January 27 against Panionios, at the age of 16 years, 9 months, making him the second youngest Greek - after Thomas Mavros - to score in the Alpha Ethniki.
Ninis also had a brilliant outing in the classical Athenian derby against AEK on February 18 of that year, contributing a goal in Panathinaikos' victory against their cross-town rivals.
He is considered one of the hottest young prospects in Greece today.
International
Ninis has played twice with the Under-21 Greek squad. In his debut with the senior team, on May 19, 2008 in Patra, he scored the first goal in a 2-0 win over Cyprus. He thus became the youngest player to score a goal for the NT, at age 18 years and 1 month.
