One History: AEK Athens | The Football Heritage Podcast

39. One History: AEK Athens Originally published in July 2024. We're joined by Nikos and Thanos for a conversation about the history and heritage AEK Athens. Founded by Greek migrants from Constantinople following the Greco-Turkish War, AEK Athens grew to become one of the most successful clubs in Greece. Their primary fan group, Original 21, are known for their anti-fascism and left-wing outlook, largely stemming from their heritage as a club founded by migrants who considered outsiders by both Turkish and Greek people. This episode covers their history, the heritage and identity of the AEK Athens support, along with Nikos' and Thanos' memories of supporting the club. Note: Due to connection problems, issues with sound quality were not flagged during the recording of this episode and only appeared afterward. We have tried to make it as easy on the ears as possible, but otherwise apologise for the poor quality of audio.
