Alekos Papadopoulos (Greek: Αλέκος Παπαδόπουλος; 5 June 1955 – 6 February 2007) was a Greek footballer who played as a forward and a later manager.
Papadopoulos played for Pakhtakor Tashkent Pakhtakor where he played alongside Vasilis Hatzipanagis.[2] That caused the interest of the owner of AEK Athens, Loukas Barlos, who signed him in November 1976.[3][4] Despite his initial impressive performances in the training sessions and friendlies he didn't manage to establish himself at the team, since they had many stars to compete with.[5] In that season AEK reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, but he did not make any appearance.[6] After the end of the season, he was released from AEK and on 29 July 1977 he moved to OFI.[7] The following season he went to Naoussa, where he played until 1983. He then signed for Veria, where he finished his career in 1984.[8]
