The family of a diehard PAOK Thessaloniki fan fulfilled the man last wish and scattered his ashes on the team’s pitch last week.
The fan, Efthymis Bakalis, had emigrated from Greece and lived out his life in Chicago, where he died in 2009.
Nevertheless, he told his three daughters that he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes scattered at PAOK’s iconic Toumba stadium.
According to seleo.gr, Bakalis wanted to always be near his beloved football team, and at the same time, to “jinx” the opponents.
As fate would have it, the man who scattered his ashes, who was his best friend, is a fan of PAOK’s bitter rival, Aris Thessaloniki.
