When Greece shocked the world: 20 years since Euro 2004

Mani Djazmi looks back to when Greece caused one of the biggest shocks in football history by winning Euro 2004.

It's 20 years since Greece caused one of the biggest shocks in the history of football by winning Euro 2004.

Greece were 80/1 outsiders before a ball was kicked, and had never even won a match or scored a goal at a major tournament.

They had a two-man coaching team and a squad of unknowns, but became champions of Europe.

Sportsworld’s Mani Djazmi looks back on their triumph in Portugal and in a special podcast, you’ll hear from members of the Greek squad including Angelos Charisteas, Nikos Dabizas and Traianos Dellas.
