Yiannis Kyrastas Passed Away...


Recommended Posts

I hope he makes it past this, he had us playing the best soccer i have ever seen a greek team play in my life in the first round of the champions league in 2001. We were voted best team in the world in September of 2001. I wish him the best of luck and a recovery.

Sorry do dissapoint you guys, but I heard that he has some sort of cancer, and the media are just covering the thing up....

It is a shame indeed, this terrible thing happening not only to one of the greatest footballers in Greece, but to a very good man, trusted and supported by most fans in Greece... :( :( :(

Unfortunately Giannis Kyrastas lost his battle with the disease that he was fighting in the recent years.

In my opinion Greek soccer lost one of the great ex-player as well as a good coach.

R.I.P.
