"History is written by people. Famous or unknown, it doesn't matter. It is written every day by ourselves. When I decided to write, I didn't feel like I was writing the history of PAOK. I am not a historian. I felt like I was recording with the eyes of my soul triumphs, disappointments, intrigues, victories, defeats. They are the traces of a PAOK life. It is the PAOK of my heart...

I am part of the modern history of PAOK. I lived it, experienced it, enjoyed it for over 25 years. It filled me with pride, captivated me, and held my hand and guided me. I gave my soul, dedicated my life, and surrendered myself body and soul without limits. PAOK. Once it wins your heart, it enters your soul and embraces you with a passion that intoxicates you to suffocation".

Dimitris Nikiforos

For PAOK fans, Dimitris Nikiforos needs no introduction. His multifaceted journey with PAOK began in April 1980 and lasted until December 2002. Today, he is counted among the ten oldest living members of the Club.

The writing of this book was driven by the author's love for the historic club and his desire to share with the reader experiences and moments of a long common journey. Having collaborated with 12 club presidents, he served the historic club from significant managerial positions, experiencing firsthand the team's top moments in history. He witnessed events - milestones in the 90-year history of the club, both on the field and in the offices.

With this book, he reveals experiences and memories that he had kept to himself until now, and perhaps, for a few others who knew them. He delves into administrative upheavals, how infamous transfers happened or didn't happen, relationships between management figures, alliances and rivalries, anxieties, worries - abandoning now an unnecessary neutrality, he gives "what belongs to Caesar".
