Mimis Papaioannou, Greek footballer and manager

Dimitrios "Mimis" Papaioannou (Greek: Μίμης Παπαϊωάννου; born 23 August 1942) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a forward, mostly for AEK Athens. Papaioannou was a symbol of morality and faith for AEK Athens and the Greek football. He played for the same team for the most of his career and was never shown a single red card while being spotted only three times with a yellow, showing a wonderful prudence and integrity of character. Papaioannou was considered to be the best Greek footballer of his generation and one of the best Greek footballers of all time, being awarded as the best Greek footballer of the 20th Century by IFFHS.
