Sotiris Konstantinidis (Greek:Σωτήρης Κωνσταντινίδης; born 19 April 1977) is a Greek former professionalfootballer who played as aforward. His nickname was "doctor" because he had been studying medicine.
Konstantinidis started his career atIraklis in 1994,[1] where his very good performances with the club, attracted the interest ofAEK Athens andOlympiacos. The player negotiated in the last six months before the end of his contract his transfer to a team of his choice and he agreed with AEK. But the president of Iraklis, Petros Theodoridis wanted to give him to Olympiacos, from whom he had an offer. Finally, the two sides ended up in the courts and Konstantinidis was left out of the squad for a few months. In the summer of 1999, the player was finally vindicated and signed with AEK.[2] His most important goal with AEK was the one against Olympiacos in the 2002Greek Cup final.[3] During his presence at the club, he won 3 Cups and aGreek Super Cup in 1996.
