Stratos Apostolakis "The Turbo" 1990 -1998

His signing from Olympiakos in the summer of '89 almost caused a "civil war" between the country. The Greek super cup was postponed to avoid the worse. As a footballer though he played his best years for PAO being one of the key players behind PAO's European runs in '92 and '96. He also played for the world 11 on 3 separate occasions. He coached PAO for 6 months in 2001.

Giannis Kalitzakis "The Ninja" 1987-1997

A very tough and strong defender who although lacked skill on the ground was feared by opposing strikers since his tackling was very aggressive and his heading skills sublime scoring 17 goals from corner kicks and corners. Was signed from Paneleusiniakos in the summer of 1986 and was sent on-loan to Diagoras Rhodes, where he scored one goal that season in a game that ended 1-1, damaging PAO's title hopes. He returned to PAO the next summer. He first made his mark in the 1987-88 season in an UEFA Cup game vs Juventus where he marked the great Ian Rush out of the game.

[[Image:Kostas-Eleftherakis.jpg|thumb|200px|Kostas Eleftherakis]]Midfielder, born [[July 18]], [[1950]]. His nickname was '''the deer'''. He started his career playing for [[Fostiras FC|Fostiras]]. He later joined [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] in [[1968]]. At age 21 he was playing in Wembley Stadium against Ajax Amsterdam. Following that game, Real Madrid and Everton expressed interest in acquiring him. Real Madrid would offer an inconceivable (for the time) 35 million drachmas for '''Kostas Eleftherakis''', but [[Costas Aslanidis|C. Aslanidis]] (Secretary General of Athletics, appointed by the military government of the days) would stand in the way.

An injury he sustained in May of [[1977]] would force him to stay away of the game for six months. He would never regain himself completely after that. Three years ([[1980]]) later he retired from football.

He played a total of 331 games in the Greek A Division - he scrored 90 goals (he played 308 games with [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]], scoring 85 goals)

Kostas Eleftherakis "To Elafi"

born: 18/07/50

First began his career at Fostiras and was signed by PAO in the summer of '68. His
appearance in the Champions Cup final vs Ajax was the highest point in his career. He also scored 2 goals during that campaign. Real Madid made a 35 million drachma offer for him after the signed Red Star coach Milianic who met PAO the season before but Aslanidis- the general secretary of Greek sport- left the offer in a desk draw even though it was a mythical amount of money at the time. Th same happend when Everton made an offer though Billy Bighan who coached Greece in the early '70's. He was such a good player that he was invited to play for the World XI. Sadly a serious knee injury finished off his career prematurly, not before he won another Greek league title with AEK in his penaltimate season

[[Image:Warzycha.jpg|frame|The Greek football league's all time leading scorer.]]Krzysztof (Christof) Warzycha - born [[November 17]], [[1964]] - has been an outstanding servant to [[Panathinaikos FC]] ever since he joined from KS Ruch Chorzów in [[1989]]. He is the club's all-time leading goalscorer and the highest in the history of Greek football.

At the end of the 2000/01 season, Warzycha had scored an incredible 235 goals in 352 matches and had been the Hellenic National League's top scorer in three different years in the [[1990s|90s]] ([[1994]], [[1995]] and [[1998]] seasons). His appearances in the UEFA Champions League have been no less impressive - he scored six goals in Panathanaikos nine games on the way to the semi-finals of the 1995/96 competition.

[[Image:Warzycha-9.jpg|frame|left|No. 9 for [[Panathinaikos FC|PAO]]]]On the [[April 29|29th of April]], [[2001]] during the match with Ionikos, Krzysztof Warzycha succeeded the 233rd goal of his career in Greece and reached [[Mimis Papaioannou]] at the second place of the scorers of all times. After two football periods Krzysztof succeeded the 234rd goal and remained alone at the second place of the scorers. Warzycha has scored an incredible total 235 goals in 352 matches and has been the Hellenic National League's top scorer in three different years in the late [[1990s|90s]]. His appearances in the UEFA Champions League have been no less impressive - he scored six goals in Panathanaikos nine games on the way to the semi-finals of the 1995-1996 competition.

Such have been Warzycha's achievements on the pitch and services to Greek football that he was granted Greek citizenship in [[1998]].

Krystof Warzycha 1989-2004

Words are too poor to descide Warzycha's contribution to Panathinaikos. He came unknown one afternoon in December 1989 from Ruch Horzof and at the airport the only people that greated him was the PAO management. PAO at that time was looking for a clas striker to compliment Dimitris Saravakos and when he was singed most fans did not expect much from this unknown 26 year old Pole. Giorgos Vardinogiannis, the PAO owner at that time trusted the words or Kazimir Gorski, a Polish coach who had won the double with PAO in 76/77 but also coached Olympiakos with great success too, saying to Vardinogiannis "Take Warzycha to PAO. You won't regret it".

Over the years he was to form lethal parternships with Dimitris Saravakos and Juan Jose Borelli bringing PAO fans to their feet countless times.

Warzycha debuted against AEK coming on as a sub in a 0-0 draw but was to break his duck in the next game vs Appolo Athens at Rizoupoli. 8 years later it would be the same ground where he would break Antonis Antoniadis' all-time goal scoring record.

Krystof Warzycha has set goal scoring records at PAO which may never be broken. He scored 244 league goals, just 16 short of AEK's Thomas Mavros' 260 which is the most ever making Warzycha 2nd top goalscorer of all time. This is already a massive feat, but what makes it bigger is the fact Warzycha only came to PAO at 26.

His greatest moment was in the 95-96 season where with PAO he reached the semi-final of the CL scoring in PAO's 1-0 victory vs the Great Ajax team of the mid-90's. He scored 6 goals in that campaign for PAO.

Krystof has been honoured many times. Not only by PAO and it's fans, but from the opposition too. One of the biggest honours was being awarded a plaque by International Federation of History and statistics for being the 3rd highest scorer of all time still active in 2002-03 season.

But possibly his greatest ever ovations where at Olympiakos' Karaiskaki in 1994-95 season when he was subbed and given a standing ovation by PAO's bitter rivals as he was by the fans of AEK in the 1997-98 season when he was again subbed and given a standing ovation from the AEK faithful at the Nikos Goumas Stadium.
