Well, my fellow Anorthosiatis, Kostas Attas, the left back of Anorthosis was my PE teacher at the B' Dimotiko, also known by the name Mantzourio after the family who built and donated the school to the municipality. For a time I used to be in the Anorthosi club nearly everyday playing ping pong and also learning to play drums for their band. We left for England before I had become good enough. ALso followed their training on the pitch with that foreign coach of theirs.
I remember your uncle at the Alasia very well. One day I was stung by a dragon fish in the sea. I went back to change in the changing rooms of the Alasia and nearly fainted from the pain. He carried me to the ambulance. Happy days!
I wonder if we will ever walk down Democratias and along the beach before the final check out.
I do hope we do , I'm going to make certain we are joined by some of our old football heroes !!!
I was born in 1946 and I guess I'm a few years older than you , I estimate your age at about 58 -59 . Were you born in Varosi ?
I have many relations in Varosi from my mothers side , she was from Kato Platres but moved to Ayios Loukas from an early age .
Where in London /UK did you live ?
