Stefanos Borbokis[1] (Greek: Στέφανος Μπορμπόκης; 1 September 1966 – 11 April 2026) was a Greek footballer who played as a forward and winger. He was the brother of Vasilios Borbokis who also played for PAOK.
Borbokis began his career at PAOK in 1986 and became an influential part of the team playing 215 Alpha Ethniki games and scoring 31 goals. The 1987–88 season was by far his best season scoring 10 goals helping PAOK finish third. That season he scored a goal in a 3–1 win against arch city rivals Aris, another goal in a 4–1 win against Panathinaikos and a double in a 6–1 win against Olympiacos (PAOK's biggest ever victory against the reds). The following 1988–89 season he scored a historic winner in PAOK's only ever win against Olympiakos (1–0) at the Athens Olympic Stadium. He also debuted in the UEFA Cup that season against Diego Maradona's Napoli, losing 2–1 on aggregate to the eventual 1988–89 UEFA Cup champions. In the 1991–92 UEFA Cup Borbokis scored the winner against K.V. Mechelen away in Belgium to progress 2–1 on aggregate to the second round. Borbokis also took part in the 1992 Greek Cup final in which PAOK lost to Olympiacos over two legs 3–1.
In 1994, he transferred to Edessaikos where he played one season, helping Edessaikos reach the final four in the Greek Cup. He later returned to Thessaloniki and played for Iraklis, Aris and Apollon Kalamarias.
He is the only player to have ever played for all four major clubs of Thessaloniki.[citation needed]
International career
Borbokis earned his first cap with Greece as a 24th min substitute in a friendly against Northern Ireland on 17 February 1988, which Greece won 3–2. He is PAOK's ninth most capped Greek international having played 29 times. In the 1992 Euro Qualifiers he was Greece's top goal scorer with a tally of 3.
