From the narrow streets of Pagkrati, where he vainly tried with his childhood friends to imitate the movements and actions of the football heroes of the time, he found himself in the largest stadiums on the planet. For thirty years now, he owes his presence, as a journalist, to some of the top moments in the sport that for him, as well as for tens of millions of people around the world, is "the best secondary thing in life."
Christos Sotiropoulos, in his book "Idols of Sunday," attempts a dive into the ocean of memories about figures and teams that stood out in our country as well as about events he experienced up close as an eyewitness to the small moments that compose large events.
He does not limit himself only to the major clubs and their protagonists, but also emphasizes stories that do not easily find a place in the headlines, yet had a significant contribution to the evolution of football in our country.
This journey into the personalities and events of the past is not superficial, nor does it serve as a substitute for optimism or as necessary breaths of nostalgia in today's hard times. The time that has elapsed must, according to the author, become an ally of every effort to approach the past holistically, which always leaves its traces on tomorrow.
"Idols of Sunday," like his previous book, "Game without Borders," serves Christos Sotiropoulos's belief that "the documentation and preservation of the memory of the game is a duty..."
