Mimis Stefanakos

Born in 1937, Mimis Stefanakos was considered - along with Costas Linoxylakis - as the best centre back of his day. His career at Olympiakos spanned the years 1958 - 1965. Married to actress Martha Karayianni, Stefanakos developed a love for the cinema and the night life which contributed to his decline as a player. A very disappointing performance in the Cup Winners' Cup against West Ham United of England, was to be his last game. He tried his hand as an actor without success.
