Apollon Kalamaria's return to the top flight in 1973

On 23 September 1973, Apollon Kalamaria returned to the A' Ethniki, eight years after relegation (1). The date is worth marking again for anyone who has followed the club from the stands ever since. Those eight seasons outside the top flight ended on that day, and the club was back among the big names of Greek football (1). Nothing changes the league table this week, but the anniversary still belongs to the supporters who lived through the wait. It is the kind of date that gets passed down, from the people who were there to the ones who were not.
