Triantafyllos "Lakis" Stergioudas (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Τριαντάφυλλος "Λάκης" Στεργιούδας; born 11 December 1952) is Greek former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Stergioudas started playing football in the academy of the amateur club of his birthplace, Thermaikos Portaria, but he played and made up his first team debut in the historic club of Chalkidiki, Niki Polygyrou. In 1972, at the age of 19, he impressed the people of AEK Athens, which resulted in his transfer to the club of Athens. Stergioudas became a first team regular and in 1977 he was in the squad that reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.[2] In his 12-year spell at AEK Stergioudas won two championships in a row and two cups, including a domestic double in 1978.[3]

In summer of 1984 Stergioudas moved to PAOK, where he won another championship, while he was a finalist in the cup the same year, where the club of Thessaloniki lost to AEL in a 4–1 defeat.[4] With the conquest of the championship of 1985,[5] Stergioudas became the only player to win a championship with both AEK and PAOK.[6] In 1986 he decided to retire from professional football.[7]

Stergioudas played for Greece for two years. His debut took place on 10 November 1976[8] [9] in the friendly match, in Kavala, against Austria, when under the guidance of Lakis Petropoulos he was a key player in the entire match.
