Fotis Outsikas
Greek association football player
Fotis Outsikas (Greek: Φώτης Ούτσικας; born 26 May 1957) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as left midfielder.
Club career
Outsikas first played football at Pamisos Messini, where he made his debut at the age of just 14 with the men's team in the local championship. In the summer 1973 he was transferred to AEK Athens to join their academies at the recommendation of Andreas Stamatiadis, at the age of just 16 as a great hope for the future, since he was one of the few footballers at that time with speed and a remarkable pass. He was promoted to the first team under František Fadrhonc, but the players of the time at AEK made very difficult for young Outsikas to earn a place in the team's squad. He was a part of the squad that reached to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1977. With the yellow-blacks, he won 2 consecutive Championships, a Greek Cup including a domestic double in 1978.
On 18 August 1978 he was released from AEK due to a serious injury and signed at Acharnaikos, where he played for one year and then at Panachaiki. In 1981 he signed with Diagoras and in the summer of 1982 with Egaleo, where he made an important 5-year career, both in the first division, as well as in the second division. He finished his career in 1989, playing for Marko.
International career
Outsikas was an international with both the Greece U21 and the Greece U19 teams.

Why this record matters
The phrase “greek association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12885939. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1957, 1973, 1977 and 1978.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
