    Years of innocence

    “Years of innocence” signifies the return to the sports memories that have been the balm of the souls of our grandparents, our fathers and those younger people who have heard the narratives or studied the photographs of the great idols of older times. We return to the age of football, when figures of the sport emerged from a completely different setting compared to that of recent years. In this day and age, now that the era of “prosperity” has lapsed into decline, looking at those figures who excelled in conditions of extreme poverty, hunger, terror and the weight of History, offers the most exciting model for today's young people. Through football, we focus on a Greece, true but not ideal, that inspired us, that was lost and which we wish to restore in order to inspire us again, in the midst of such a gloomy juncture.

    Episode 8

    The First National League was established in 1959 and Greek football took its first steps towards semi-professionalism, while still predominantly characterised by amateurism. The presence of a few great foreign coaches, the installation of artificial turf on some fields, as well as the emergence of great players and other factors in the sixties and the seventies, changed the climate. Our National Team came very close to the finals of major competitions twice, but on both occasions it failed in the end. Nonetheless, Panathinaikos reached Wembley Stadium, and we also admired the great teams of Olympiakos led by Goulandris, PAOK led by Koudas and AEK by Barlos. Eventually, after a lot of ups and downs, the Greek National Team managed to qualify for a major competition, the European Championship, for the first time in 1979, the same year that we entered the European Union and, thus, it became professional.
