'''Nikos Spyropoulos''' ([[Greek_language|Greek]]: '''Νίκος Σπυρόπουλος''', often transliterated Spiropoulos, born [[October 10]], [[1983]] in [[Athens]]), is a [[Greeks|Greek]] professional [[football (soccer)|football]] player, currently playing for [[Panathinaikos FC]] in the Greek [[Super League]].

Spyropoulos began his career with [[PAS Giannina FC|PAS]] [[Giannina]] in [[2001]] and, after 3 seasons, caught the eye of [[Panionios FC|Panionios]]. He was then transferred to [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]], along with his teammates, [[Alexandros Tziolis]] and [[Vangelis Mantzios]], but tested positive for an elevated T/E ratio and was initially suspended for two years. This was later attributed to natural causes, but his transfer was cancelled nevertheless. He returned to action one year later. He played for 3,5 years for [[Panionios FC|Panionios]] with great success. He is regarded a major rising talent and is one of the best Greek left-side defenders. Spyropoulos is left-footed and is distinguished by a combination of speed, strength, agility and endurance.

On [[November 17]], [[2007]], he made his [[National Football Team|National Team]] debut in the 5-0 [[Euro 2008]] qualifyer defeat of Malta coming on for [[Vasilis Torosidis]] in the 46th minute.

On January [[2008]], he moved to [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] for 2 million euros. {{ref|joins}}

After some impressive displays during the second half of 07-08 season, Spyropoulos has started the 08-09 season as the main left back for [[Panathinaikos FC]]. [[Henk Ten Cate]], the current manager, has praised his ability by asking a "Spyropoulos for the right side" too, during the pre-season. Spyropoulos main assets are his speed, stamina and the ability to go forward whenever possible. Due to a clause he is not able to play against his previous team [[Panionios FC|Panionios]] for two years after his transfer to [[Panathinaikos FC]].
