When Greece shocked the world: 20 years since Euro 2004
Listen now
Description
It's 20 years since Greece caused one of the biggest shocks in the history of football by winning Euro 2004. Greece were 80/1 outsiders before a ball was kicked, and had never even won a match or scored a goal at a major tournament. They had a two-man coaching team and a squad of unknowns, but became champions of Europe. Sportsworld’s Mani Djazmi looks back on their triumph in Portugal and in a special podcast, you’ll hear from members of the Greek squad including Angelos Charisteas, Nikos Dabizas and Traianos Dellas.
