Angelos Basinas is a central midfielder who plays for the Greece
national football team.
Born on 3 January 1976, Basinas joined the youth academy of
Panathinaikos FC as a teenager and was a key figure in all of
Panathinaikos' domestic and European successes. The influential
Basinas nearly always put his stamp on Panathinakos games,
whether with his sublime passing, combative style, or deadly
long shot. He was a key player in Greece's shock European
Championship victory, scoring a penalty in his country's 2-1
upset win over host team Portugal in the tournament's opening
game.
On 21 September 2005 Basinas was released by Panathinaikos after
almost 15 years in the team and during the 2006 Winter transfer
window, Basinas signed a free transfer contract with Real
Mallorca. |
