They made me defend Dalaras

My family used to listen almost exclusively to George Dalaras. In the car, at parties, when friends visisted, or when we had people from abroad visiting and we wanted to show them a little piece of Greek culture.   I used to think that he was a great artist until [Συνέχεια...]

A “3D – gift” to all passionate fans

  I was always jealous of guys who are dedicated to their sport-heroes, who are willing to sacrifice time just as a present to those who have given them some of their best moments in their whole life, some of the most memorable drops of excitement and joy. Even though [Συνέχεια...]

NOBODY EVER SAYS THANK YOU..

There is no way that a book about Brian Clough can be boring. The task for anybody to write something different and readable though is enormous. That’s why I think the new book about Clough with the title Nobody Ever Says Thank You is a piece of art! In recent [Συνέχεια...]

He talks football the way he played it…
