The story of Greek football, mainly in the 1920s, when the Hellenic Football Federation establishes the National Team, the Championship and the Cup. Up to 1959, Greek football is at an amateur level, played on dry fields, where players and fans on crowded platforms experience the same degree of poverty. Great historical events define our country at the time, such as the 1922 refugees, the "Ohi day" in 1940, the occupation, the civil war and the exiles.

Panionios, Apollon Smyrnis and Ethnikos Piraeus were, throughout the twentieth century, the unsung backbone heroes of Greek football. They were powerful teams, who supplied the grand teams with great players and were always the regulators of the title. Always on the backseat of the then powerful POK’s (Central Football Club) system, with fewer but devoted fans, dedicated to fair and honest play; they gradually left the scene, as did their era.
