Stoch was (and maybe is again since moving back) a notorious figure within the nightlife of Thessaloniki. A good lad who I met in Florence (after the Fiorentina game back in 2016) explained that he had been renewing his season ticket in the same place in gate 6 for the past couple of years and had thus become aquainted with those around him who did the same. One of them was the owner a popular bar in the city. One matchday while the players were warming.up they were discussing Stoch's (who was on loan at the time) contract and how much he was earning. Apart from his salary, PAOK was also paying for an apartment. It was then that the bar owner said "Τι το πληρώνουν το διαμέρισμα; Αφού σχεδόν κάθε βράδυ σε μένα κοιμάται".
