PAOK FC — mid-1990s (around the 1995/96 season)

PAOK Thessaloniki is one of Greece’s major clubs, founded in 1926 and traditionally based in Thessaloniki. Around the mid-1990s the club was competing in the Alpha Ethniki (the top Greek division) and the Greek Cup, with ambitions to challenge the domestic big clubs and to rebuild a competitive squad.
