Brief introduction...

I finally decided to start my own blog after viewing various blogs floating around on the web. I'm a sports fanatic, so naturally I searched for ones related to sports in Cyprus and in particular for football related ones. I stumbled upon some interesting and extremely witty ones that focus on my local football team AEK Kition. Needless to say, I was greatly inspired to begin my own blog.

I decided to mainly write in English in the hope of perhaps "educating" people who have no clue about sports in Cyprus and in particualar my favourite team AEK Kition. Also, another reason being is that I feel more comfortable typing in English rather than in Greek :)

Here's a brief introduction to my team taken from wikipedia.org for those interested :

"AEK Larnaca FC (Greek:Αθλητική Έvωση Κιτίου;Athlitiki Enosi Kitiou) is a Cypriot Sports club, based in the port of Larnaca. The club was formed in 1994 after a merger of two clubs of Larnaca; EPA and Pezoporikos. The clubs has football and basketball section for men and volleyball section for women."

The current president of the team is Thomas Kyriakou and the current coach is Nir Klinger. The colours of the club are green and yellow and their emblem is the famous Athenian general, Kimon, who died at the seafront defending the city of Citium in a major battle with the Persians of Xerxes. He told his officers to keep the news of his death secret. The quote "Και Νεκρος Ενικα" ("Even in death he was victorious") referred to Kimon. A statue of "Kimon the Athenian" stands proudly on the sea front promenade of modern Larnaca...read rest of article in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEK_Larnaca
