Achilleas Grammatikopoulos was born in 1910. He guarded Olympiakos' nets from his debut on November 4, 1928 until 1944. He was considered one of the top keepers of the pre-WW II era and was capped 5 times by the Greek National team. His nickname during that time was "Zamora" after Ricardo Zamora, the top Spaniard goalkeeper of the same era.

After his playing career was over, Grammatikopoulos stayed on in football as a referee.

Grammatikopoulos is still alive at age 97 and still attends veteran functions of Olympiakos.
