16 Newcastle Players You Won't Believe Are Seasoned Internationals
8. Georgios Georgiadis - 61 Greece Caps
Newcastle United: 1998-99 Position: Right-Winger Nationality: Greek Premier League Appearances: 10 Premier League Goals: 0 International Caps (Goals): 61 (11) He hardly registered on the radar of most Newcastle supporters during his time at Newcastle, yet Georgios Georgiadis was capped 61 times by Greece - and even lifted the European Championship in 2004. A three-time Greek Championship and five-time Greek Cup winner, the right-winger enjoyed a distinguished career in his homeland with Panathinaikos, PAOK Thessaloniki and Olympiacos, and since his playing career ended he has even gone into management. With 132 league goals from 464 career club appearances - although he returned 0 in 10 for Newcastle - Georgiadis clearly had something about him, but the 5ft 8in winger didn't prove that to the Toon faithful.
