Chris Theodoridis, in a way, was always ‘destined’ to play for Heidelberg United FC.
The 33-year-old is a goalkeeper for the historical Greek team also known as ‘Alexander the Great’ and his lineage with the team goes all the way back to his grandparents.
“The funny thing is in where the coaches area is in the club rooms, there’s a photo in there and my dad showed me this photo before, but at his house. I saw it in the coaches room and I was completely taken aback because it’s got my grandfather as the coach of the under nines at Heidelberg and he’s coaching George Katsakis who’s my coach and he’s next to my dad. So that was a bit of a wow moment,” Theodoridis tells
