	Takis Fyssas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Panagiotis "Takis" Fyssas (born 12 June 1973 in Athens) is a Greek left-back, currently playing for Heart of Midlothian and the Greek national football team, for whom he has been capped nearly 50 times.
		Fyssas started his career in the Panionios GS youth academy, achieving his senior debut in the 1990-91 season.
		After being allowed to leave Benfica in the summer of 2005, Fyssas made the surprise decision to move to Scotland with Hearts, despite reported interest from England and Germany.

	Scotsman.com News - International - Fyssas hails big spend as Hearts' road into Europe
		TAKIS FYSSAS today laid the foundations for a Champions League assault by Hearts next season, declaring Vladimir Romanov's January spending spree as essential to European success.
		As his Lithuanian paymaster goes to all possible extremes to bring the SPL championship to Edinburgh, Fyssas was one of the few who did not raise an eyebrow as the Hearts first-team squad swelled to a massive 35 players.
		As a top European competitor with his previous clubs, Panathinaikos and Benfica, the Greek left-back is conscious of the need for extensive squads to properly prepare for a possible Champions League campaign.

	Telegraph \| Sport \| Hearts risk a fine to appeal Fyssas red card against Celtic
		Hearts have elected to go head-to-head with the Scottish Football Association for the second time in 10 months by appealing against the straight red card shown to Greek full-back Takis Fyssas during their 3-2 defeat to Celtic on Sunday.
		Fyssas was dismissed following a challenge on Shaun Maloney on the edge of the Hearts penalty area, 14 minutes from time, with the home side leading 2-1.
		However, Hearts are adamant that Fyssas made no contact with the Celtic striker and a club spokesman said: "Having carried out a detailed review of the incident involving the sending off of Takis Fyssas, Hearts will be appealing the decision.

	Wind of change - [Sunday Herald]
		With the arrival of Takis Fyssas at Tynecastle, George Burley is fast becoming the envy of his Premierleague counterparts.
		At tea-time on Tuesday, Burley was almost drooling as Greek international left-back Takis Fyssas demonstrated a handsome charm to match his footballing abilities.
		If the truth be known about Fyssas, he was out of favour at Benfica and had been told to look for another club, but his aggressive, surging play should be ideally suited to British football.

		TAKIS Fyssas still doesn't want to entertain talk of Hearts ending a multi-decade lull by winning this season's SPL title, but there are a growing number of his countrymen who do.
		Even on his way back from international duty, it was about 8:30pm and there was a message on my phone from him to say he was at the airport and feeling fine and looking forward to seeing me in the morning at training.
		Apart from his wife, who is expecting their first child, and who has now joined him in Edinburgh, Fyssas' thoughts are focused primarily on his job.

		Nobody who knows Brewster would argue with Fyssas' assessment that the Inverness player-manager is one of the game's true gentlemen but that won't stop the 32-year-old left-back making life as difficult as possible for the hosts' boss when the action starts tomorrow.
		Fyssas has been impressed by the standard of competition in the SPL and feels privileged to be part of the Romanov revolution which is threatening to break the Old Firm stranglehold on the game north of the Border.

		Like Seitaridis on the opposite flank, Fyssas often instigates counter-attacks.

		Fyssas insists the club are going all the way to the top, just like his former club, who were reborn two years ago when they lifted the Portuguese Cup at the scene of Celtic's greatest moment in history.
		This charming man Fyssas is a breath of fresh air who livens up press conferences the way he has livened up the left wing at Tynecastle this season with Rudi Skacel.
