How old is he and who does he play for? Will he be in the Euro 2008 squad?

Sokratis Papastathopoulos was born on June 9, 1988 in Kalamata. He is a Greek football player currently playing for AEK Athens FC. He is regarded as the next big thing in Greek football. He plays at centre back but can also play as a defensive midfielder. Comparisons are already being made between him and Tony Adams (footballer) while AEK fans already consider him as the next Stelios Manolas. In the summer of 2006 he was linked with a move to Wigan Athletic F.C. while other big clubs such as Juventus, Chelsea, Arsenal as well as Liverpool watched him closely. Papastathopoulos is under contract with AEK until June 2008.Sokratis is expected to sign for Arsenal in either january or in summer 2008.
Papastathopoulos made his debut for AEK in the 2005-2006 Greek Cup against PAS Giannina. AEK won this game 3-0 with Sokratis scoring the first goal of the game.

During the 2006-2007 Greek Super League, Papastathopoulos managed to make 14 appearances whilst competing against the likes of Bruno Cirillo, Traianos Dellas and Vaggelis Moras.

In AEK's UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 campaign, Papastathopoulos managed to play in 3 out of AEK's 6 group games. In these games where Sokratis played, AEK managed 1 win (the famous 1-0 victory of A.C. Milan), 1 draw (the 2-2 away draw with R.S.C. Anderlecht) and one loss (the 3-1 away defeat to Lille OSC). Unfortunately, AEK missed out to progress to the round of 16 by 1 point.

At the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship in Austria, Papastathopoulos was captain of the Greece National Under 19 Football Team but controversially missed out on the final against Spain due to a suspension. Sokratis picked up his second yellow card of the tournament against Germany in the semi-final, following up on his first yellow card against Austria in the group stage. The Hellenic Football Federation tried to appeal the yellow card to UEFA but were rejected. The match referee of the Germany game, Kevin Blom, apologized to Papastathopoulos for giving him the yellow, as it was later shown on video that it was not a booking. Papastathopoulos was a key figure of Greece's defensive line and was sorely missed in the final.

the bonus is he's from Kalamata... there's also talk he'll be heading to euro 08 with the senior team... good luck to the lad..

exactly...

The Kop · Post by **The Kop** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 11:44 pm

Of course he is AEK!!!.......

19 years of age. Debuted for AEK at 16, debuted champions league at 18.
Captain of the Greek u/19 team, vice of the u/21s.
Will be in Greece's Euro squad.

Is AEK's best player by a country mile. Better than Rivaldo, Lymberopoulos, Dellas etc etc. His interception and 45yard run from defence to win the foul setup the winning goal for AEK on the weekend.

He will be Greece's best ever defender (Manolas even said that), and one of Europe's elite.
Mark my words........Hence the topic

ok whatever

hence the point of this topic, im going on record now to say he will be Greece's best ever defender. The man whom that crown belongs to (the great Stelios Manolas) said that 3 years ago when he first saw Papastathopoulos play.

Best on ground by a country mile vs Fiorentina (embarrased Vieri).
Best on ground by a country mile vs Aris (embarrased Koke).

He is that good and a bag of chips, and you'll be eating your words. Guaranteed.

So bash away. I cant say i wont bring this topic up in a few years when he signs for a big club.

PS For the record, i see good things for Mendrinos for your team. Mitroglou has yet to convicne me, but that Mendrinos kid has bucketloads of talent.

yep.

Wenger sent Grimandi to watch him last season. Ferguson sent his brother.

Both clubs made approaches in summer that were rejected. His contract expires in July 08. And both clubs (along with Inter (who were at the AEK-Aris game on the weekend) and Juventus) are waiting to see if he signs a new deal.

KOP im hoping he is in tony adams' league and ends up at arsenal!

Called up to the national team for the upcoming friendlies.

Will most certainly earn his inagural senior cap at age 19.
For Rehhagel -who persists with players over 30- to callup a 19 year old he must be pretty farken good.

Juventus sent scouts to Athens to watch the derby AEK-PAO with an eye on Sokrati.

Apparently Milan have stitched the deal up already. Loan for the first season and then 7 million euro payment.

Napoli on the verge of completing a deal for Cavani from Palermo - please let this be true!!!!
