Dimitrios Domazos

Dimitrios Domazos (known as Mimis Domazos in Greek Μίμης Δομάζος , born January 22, 1942 in Ampelokipi , Athens ) is a former Greek football player and is considered one of the best Greek football players. During active times, Domazos was known as "General" thanks to his appearance on the field and his game overview. His position was playmaker in the central attacking midfield. Domazos played with the shirt number 10.

In the summer of 1959, Domazos moved from the amateur team Amyna Ampelokipon to the top club Panathinaikos Athens at the age of 17 . For the transfer, Panathinaikos paid the then sum of 9,000 drachmas and thus outperformed his arch rival Olympiacos, who was also interested in signing Damozos.

Domazos played for Panathinaikos for almost two decades and won ten championship titles and three Greek cup wins with his club. During his time with the "Greens" he became the undisputed captain of his team and led them to their greatest international successes to date. In 1971 they stood in London in the final of the European Cup (0-2 against Ajax Amsterdam ) and only a few months later they played for the World Cup against Montevideo.

In the same period Domazos also played as captain in the Greek national team and came to 51 missions and four goals scored.
