Crystal Palace
After Greece won Euro 2004, lakis signed for a season long loan with Crystal Palace in the Premiership. He made 10 appearances for Palace. And notably missed the goal from 6 yards in the game against Arsenal at Selhurst Park while the score was 1-1. It is likely that Palace would have won the match had he scored. Unfortunately the club was relegated the same year and Lakis decided to return to Greece and his previous club AEK Athens FC.

“Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.”
