Christos Aravidis

"In the beginning was just fun after a game became a passion," he recalls, when his father and ex-football player unknowingly motivated his son to deal with football.

After playing in the Football League for Akratitos, he made his debut in the Superleague Greece with the club at the age of 18,5 against AEK.

He scored his first goal in the major league in a match against OFI and he was constantly selected in the Greece U-21 team.

Ewald Lienen, the new coach of Panionios was presented a few days ago, and the 19 years' old had to fight to find time in the first major challenge of his career.

In April 2009 he filed an appeal against the Ethnikos Asteras, as he played almost entirely unpaid and at the end of the season being released from Panionios, will search the new challenge in his career.

[3] But in Aris neither Mazinho in the beginning, nor Héctor Cúper trusted him and Aravidis succeeded to make only 13 appearances with the club, in almost two years.

In October 2012 he filed his third appeal (after Ethnikos Asteras and Aris) against the Doxa Drama as there was a private agreement for bonus participations and rentals that never received.

[7] Aravidis at the end of 2014-15 season, in the few minutes that he played against Alimos, typically secured the lead in the list of scorers of the Southern Group of the Football League, with 13 goals.

[8] On 22 August 2015, in a 3–0 home game against Platanias scored his first goal in Greek Super League with AEK.

On 12 March 2017 he scored the last goal of AEK in the 3–0 home "double-headed eagle" derby against PAOK.

[14] On 30 October 2018, Aravidis scored after a long period (572 days to be exact) a hat-trick against Niki Volos in a 3–0 home Greek Cup game.

[18] The 32-year-old forward was absolutely crucial for the club, after scoring six goals in 15 games and helping the Swiss team get a great distance in its effort to gain the promotion.
