Giourkas Seitaridis

Of Pontic Greek heritage, Seitaridis started his professional career with northern Greek side PAS Giannina, nicknamed Ajax of Epirus, in 1997, becoming an important right full-back for the club. Seitaridis helped the team towards the promotion of the Super League 2 in the 1999–2000 at the Greek Superleague.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesg/grk2hist.html|title=Beta Ethniki 1999–00|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=11 April 2012}} He made a total of 40 league appearances with PAS Giannina, scoring 5 goals.

He was soon spotted by Athens-based club Panathinaikos, and on 12 January 2001 he signed a 5-year contract with them for a total fee of 300 million drachmas.{{cite news|url=http://www.athlitikihxo.gr/showhighlights.php?papercode=262913&imagecode=262913 |title=Και ο Γιούρκας στην Παιανία (Also Giourkas at Paiania) |last=Spanoudakis |first=Giorgos |date=12 January 2001 |work=Athlitiki Icho |language=el }}{{dead link|date=January 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} He quickly established himself as a regular player for the team and at the age of 22 he won his first silverware by helping Panathinaikos do the double at the 2003–04 season, winning the 2003–04 Alpha Ethniki and the Greek Cup against rivals Olympiacos.{{cite web|url=http://www.epo.gr/vodafon/kyppello/Kipello2003-2004.pdf|title=2003–04 Greek Cup overview|publisher=Hellenic Football Federation|language=el|access-date=10 April 2012}}

He scored his first European goal against Manchester United on 7 March 2001, in a game for the second group stage of the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/mar/07/newsstory.panathinaikos|title=Panathinaikos 1 – 1 Man Utd|last=Biggs|first=Matt|date=7 March 2001|work=The Guardian}} In September of the same year, he was named Greek Young Footballer of 2001, along with Pantelis Kafes and Angelos Charisteas.{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/article/?aid=132732|title=ΑΕΚ, Ολυμπιακός και ΠΑΟΚ οι υποψήφιες κορυφαίες ομάδες του ΠΣΑΠ (AEK, Olympiacos and PAOK the candidates for Best Team)|date=10 September 2001|publisher=in.gr|language=el}}

On 11 June 2004, a day before the eventually successful UEFA Euro 2004 campaign for Greece, it was rumored that Seitaridis signed for Portuguese side, and at the time Champions League holders, F.C.

The 2008–09 season did not start well for Seitaridis, as he lost his place in the first team to new signings Tomáš Ujfaluši and John Heitinga, and his heavy contract meant that Atlético was looking to sell him.{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/international/article/?aid=919811|title=Πιέζεται για... έξοδο από την Ατλέτικο Μαδρίτης ο Γιούρκας (Giourkas pressured to exit Atlético Madrid)|date=16 July 2008|publisher=in.gr|language=el}} Despite that, Seitaridis was a starter in Atlético's opening game, in a 4–0 victory over Málaga CF,{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/international/article/?aid=933695|title=Επιμένει η Μπενφίκα για την απόκτηση του Σεϊταρίδη (Benfica insists on signing Seitaridis)|date=1 September 2008|publisher=in.gr|language=el}} and went on to make 14 league appearances that season. On 29 April 2009 however, him and teammate Maniche were suspended by Atlético's president Enrique Cerezo because they failed to appear in an Atlético home match against Sporting Gijón despite not being included in the 18-man squad.{{cite web|url=http://www.enet.gr/?i=news.el.article&id=39595|title=Τελειώνει από την Ατλέτικο ο Σεϊταρίδης (Seitaridis finished from Atletico)|date=29 April 2009|publisher=Eleftherotypia|language=el}}{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11827_5321750,00.html|title=Atletico release Seitaridis|last=Bailey|first=Richard|date=13 May 2009|publisher=Sky Sports}} Two weeks later on 13 May 2009, it was announced that Seitaridis was released by Atlético a year before his contract was to expire, with a statement on the club's official website reading "Seitaridis is therefore free to negotiate with other clubs who may be interested in signing him".

On 10 September 2009, the last day of the Greek transfer period for free agent players, Seitaridis signed a 4-year deal with Panathinaikos, returning to the team after five years.{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/superleague/article/?aid=1051571|title=Ο πρώην ελεύθερος Γιούρκας επέστρεψε στον Παναθηναϊκό (Ex-free agent Giourkas returns to Panathinaikos)|date=10 September 2009|publisher=in.gr|language=el}} It soon became apparent that Giourkas was unfit and was struggling to re-establish himself due to frequent injuries,{{cite web|url=http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Panathinaikos/protash_gia_ton_seitaridh.1693680.html|title=Πρόταση για τον Σεϊταρίδη (Offer for Seitaridis)|date=16 March 2012|publisher=Sport24|language=el}} missing most of the 2009–10 season's matches.

The 2010–11 season started well for Seitaridis, being a starter at Panathinaikos' opening league fixture against Skoda Xanthi on 27 August 2010 and giving a good performance.{{cite web|url=http://www.enet.gr/?i=news.el.article&id=220205|title=Χορεύοντας με τις θλάσεις (Dancing with muscle injuries)|last=Livanios|first=Savvas|date=4 November 2010|publisher=Eleftherotypia|language=el}} However, another muscle injury{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/01e9-0e759bf1362b-4bfde8300690-1000--panathinaikos-lose-kante-and-seitaridis/|title=Panathinaikos lose Kanté and Seitaridis|date=27 September 2010|publisher=UEFA}} meant that Seitaridis would return at a league game against Panserraikos two months later, on 4 December.{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/superleague/article/?aid=1231069989|title=Στη κορυφή ο ΠΑΟ με νίκη 2–0 επί του Πανσερραϊκού και Γάλλους σκόρερ (Panathinaikos at top with a 2–0 win over Panserraikos and with French scorers)|date=4 December 2010|publisher=in.gr|language=el}} Due to the player's poor condition he was placed on the transfer list in January 2011,{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/superleague/article/?aid=1231071904|title=ΠΑΟ... για ενίσχυση και ξεσκαρτάρισμα του ρόστερ (PAO vows for improvement and cleanup of the roster)|date=22 December 2010|publisher=in.gr|language=el}} but despite various offers from foreign teams during the summer transfer period,{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/superleague/article/?aid=1231123001|title=Όταν ο Γιούρκας φεύγει, ο Κάστρο έρχεται (Giourkas goes, Castro comes)|date=5 August 2011|publisher=in.gr|language=el}} he stayed at Panathinaikos.

The 2011–12 season was even more disappointing for him, as he was only used for 45 minutes in an away game against Atromitos, where he was substituted at half-time due to poor performance.{{cite web|url=http://www.enet.gr/?i=news.el.article&id=310698|title=Ο Λέτο έσωσε στο τέλος τον βαθμό (Leto saved the point at the end)|date=17 September 2011|publisher=Eleftherotypia|language=el}} He played for a second time in an away game against Asteras Tripoli, staying on the pitch a full 90 minutes.{{cite web|url=http://sports.in.gr/football/superleague/article/?aid=1231191912|title=Κλέιτον και Λάζαρος "οδήγησαν" τον ΠΑΟ στο "διπλό" της Τρίπολης – Αθλητισμός (Cleyton and Lazaros lead PAO to Tripoli win)|date=18 April 2012|publisher=In.gr|language=el|access-date=31 July 2012|location=Tripoli}}

The 2012–13 season started well for Seitaridis, playing as a starter in the first three league matches at the beginning of the season. He also contributed with one assist in Panathinaikos' 2012–13 UEFA Europa League group stage match against Tottenham Hotspur, which ended 1–1.{{cite web|url=http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Panathinaikos/giourkas_seitaridhs_9_xronia_meta.1956443.html|script-title=el:Γιούρκας Σεϊταρίδης: 9 χρόνια μετά|trans-title=Giourkas Seitaridis: 9 years later|date=5 October 2012|publisher=Sport24.gr|language=el|access-date=5 October 2012}}
