This is a thread about foreigners who, despite having Greek citizenship, opted for another national team, usually because they were born there.
I will start the thread with Olympiakos legend Djordevic. The midfielder was born in Serbia, but moved to Greece aged 15 and spent all of his career there. He is known for being Olympiakos' player with the most appearances. Despite that, he opted to play for his country of birth, Serbia and guided them in the World Cup 2006.
Think it was right that he represented Serbia, but imagine having him in the midfield in our golden era...Imagine the creativy he would offer...
Other similar examples?
