Overview

In the summer of 1987, AEK returned to the Nea Filadelfeia Stadium and were called to carry on without their legend, Thomas Mavros as well as Håkan Sandberg. On the other hand, some useful players were acquired such as Giorgos Savvidis, Henrik Nielsen and Vasilios Vasilakos. The Yugoslav Todor Veselinović was hired as the new manager, who had very good knowledge of the Greek championship with spells at Olympiacos, Apollon Athens and Diagoras.

Under Veselinović the team had a good presence and were in the claiming of the championship and with both Panathinaikos and Olympiacos out of the title race early on, AEK were the main contenders for the title, alongside the strong at that time AEL. However, the "Tsingov case" played crucial role in the outcome of the championship. The footballer of AEL, Georgi Tsingov was tested positive in a dropping test after the match against Panathinaikos. The court's decision was as the regulation predicted, punishing AEL by zeroing for the match, a 2-point deduction and punishment of the player, which brought AEK at the top of the table. AEL appealed with their fans revolting by blocking the highway, closing railway lines among other things. Before the appeal was heard the then Minister of Sports, Sifis Valirakis changed the regulation "overnight". The new regulation dictated that in cases of doping, only the footballer would be punished and not the club. Thus, the points were returned to AEL who eventually won the championship. Essentially, AEK were entitled to win the championship on courts, but since AEL emerged as champions on the pitch, the mentality and principles of the yellow-blacks are such that did not allow them to proceed in such actions.[1]

In the Cup, AEK after elinating Iraklis at the first round and Kallithea at the round of 32, were drawn against Olympiacos for the round of 16. In the first match at Karaiskakis Stadium, AEK got a significant 1–1 draw. On the eve of the rematch, a big scandal broke out as the former footballer of AEK, Dinos Ballis visited at the hotel where the team were located with a bouquet for the goalkeeper, Theologis Papadopoulos and created strong suspicions that he was trying to bribe him. The match took place, with Olympiacos winning 1–3 and the story continued in the courts. The Koskotas brothers were accused of trying to bribe Papadopoulos and Vasilakos through Ballis, while many fans of AEK believe that the management of AEK was involved in the whole case. Eventually, in a very strange court decision, the only one who was punished for the whole case was Ballis for attempted bribery.[2]

Another scandal of the season was the "Vosdos case". The president of Panachaiki, Aris Loukopoulos, denounced AEK for an attempt to bribe the defender of the team, Leonidas Vosdos, before the match between the two teams at Patras. The footballer himself stated that no one approached him and the judges concluded that the story was an "invention" of Loukopoulos to create a climate of tension in view of the match. Thus the president of Panachaiki was punished.[3]

The last match of the season at Nea Filadelfeia against Iraklis was marked by terrible incidents. The ultra's stand had enough with Zafiropoulos, who was considered unable to lift the "weight" of the club's management, but the tension that existed did not justify the following events. Riot police, in an incomprehensible decision, entered the ultra's stand and beat whoever stood in their way. That resulted in very heated encounters with the ultras, which is believed by many that Zafiropoulos influenced the police officers to act in this way.[4] The best players of the season for AEK were Manolas, Nielsen, Savvidis, Vasilakos, Janjanin and Patikas. The greatest victory of the season was the 7–1 at home against Veria Henrik Nielsen with 21 goals finished the season as the league's top scorer.[5]

AEK Stadium was chosen for the shooting of the movie "The Striker with Number 9" by Pantelis Voulgaris, with the crowd having no idea of what was happening. However, despite the difficulties of the shooting, Stratos Tzortzoglou stated the experience was shocking and magical having 30,000 people chanting and booing on set.[40]
