'''Thanasis Kourkouvelas''' was a goalkeeper for [[Panionios FC|Panionios]] and [[Olympiakos FC|Olympiakos]] during the [[1960s]] and [[1970s]].

Kourkouvelas was born in [[1939]] and is perhaps best remembered for his performance against [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] on [[May 28]], [[1966]]: Panathinaikos were 1 point ahead of their bitter rivals [[Olympiakos FC|Olympiakos]], with 4 games to go and were poised to take another championship. They played an indifferent Panionios on that day and found themselves down 2-1. Despite the enormous pressure placed upon him, Kourkouvelas preserved Panionios' victory and gifted Olympiakos their first league title in 7 years.

Kourkouvelas came to play for Olympiakos during the [[1971]] season though the red-and-whites had been after him for years.

Kourkouvelas was capped once by the Greek [[National Football Team]], in a friendly against Libya, as a second-half substitute for [[Takis Economopoulos]].
