Giorgos Karagounis

Georgios "Giorgos" Karagounis (Greek: Γιώργος Καραγκούνης) (born 6 March 1977 in Pyrgos, Greece) is a Greek footballer who plays for Fulham in the English Premier League. He is best remembered for scoring the first goal of UEFA Euro 2004, a long range effort that helped his team to win the opening game of the tournament, in which the Greeks surprisingly emerged as champions.

His style of play combined with his comparatively small stature have earned him comparisons with the former Greek midfield star Mimis Domazos. He is known as "a dogged worker in midfield and a deliverer of fine set plays."
