    Life of Hellenes Abroad

    in Let's talk about this

    Posted

    Background: Both parents born to Greek Australian immigrants, On my dads side they are both Pontic Greeks from Kouzani, on my Mums side her dad was from Florina, Macedonia. Her mum was originally from Constantinopoli and moved to a village right outside Thessaloniki.

    Did your parent(s) teach you Greek/Do you speak Greek?: Yes, my grandparents did. I also went to Greek school as a kid. 

    Education: Went to school in Australia and then after high school, TAFE (college) then Microsoft and Apple certifications (i got into IT)

    Friend groups: Since i grew up in Australia most of my friends are from the Wollongong area. I have Greek, FYROM, Spanish, Chilean and almost every other nationality of friends in my circle. I now live in USA (married an American) and so i have some friends here in USA as well.

    Greek influence in daily life: My Greek heritage influences almost everything about me.

    Last time in Greece: 2006

    Fanis Gekas ‒ (retired)

    in Greek Players Abroad

    Why does Gekas bounce around to so many teams his last few years? Since 2012 he has not played more than 1 season, but in most cases less than a season at each team he has joined.

    Even though his scoring rate is usually about 1 goal every 2 games which is pretty good i think.

     

    Does he have trouble working with coaches or other players?
