Diehard PAOK fan’s last wish is to have ashes scattered on team’s … pitch – Request granted!

The family of a diehard PAOK Thessaloniki fan fulfilled the man last wish and scattered his ashes on the team’s pitch last week.
The fan, Efthymis Bakalis, had emigrated from Greece and lived out his life in Chicago, where he died in 2009.
Nevertheless, he told his three daughters that he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes scattered at PAOK’s iconic Toumba stadium.
