Georgios comes from a working class Greek background mixed with Jewish heritage from one of his grandfathers.
He began playing football for APOEL youth team in 1949 and one year later he became a member of the senior squad.
The Cypriot striker was the first player ever to be brought in from abroad to play professional football in Israel.
Three offers from Israeli clubs were on the table though Georgios ended up only playing for Maccabi Haifa.
Acclimation was difficult but eventually he settled in the port city and scored some goals to go down in the annals of history in Israeli football.
