Proper old school defender who's a leader and won't take any shit from the opponents.
Puts his body on the line and is determined as ever.
He's been an immense signing.

Personality-wise he is spot on. Loves a scrap, won’t shirk from a fight or a tackle and is a bit nasty to boot. Haven’t had a CB like that for god knows how long.
Harry Kane always has joy against us but in the league game was anonymous. Why? Because every time he dropped deep to get the ball, this fella was right up his arse and either nicked in or just kicked him and gave away a free kick in a nothing area. Wasn’t pretty but was fucking effective.
Fast forward a few weeks and our supposed dicking at their hands came because both goals (constituting 2 of their 3 chances) arose from their forward players dropping deep and being given time to bring the ball down and turn into acres of space. Rather than having a big hairy Greek bastard going through the back of them.

I knew someone would be sad enough to go and Google how it was spelled. I'm glad it was you! Yes technically spelled differently IN ENGLISH but pronounced exactly the same, and modern Greek writing is not really comparable to Ancient Greek writing at all so your point is invalid![]()
