Return To PAOK FC
Thus, Koudas rejoined PAOK in 1968, where he would spend the rest of his career. He gradually became the leader and captain of the legendary 70's squad created by Pantelakis, built on young Greek talents like Damanakis, Iosifidis, Terzanidis, Apostolidis, Gounaris, Sarafis, Dimopoulos and others. During that period, he celebrated the winning of two Greek Cups, in 1972 and 1974, and one Greek Championship, in 1976. He finally retired in 1984, at age 38.
Koudas holds the record for the most appearances with PAOK, appearing in 607 matches, 504 of which in the Greek 1st Division, spanning almost 21 seasons.

Famous quotes containing the words return to and/or return:
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air: the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1858–1924)
“I find very reasonable the Celtic belief that the souls of our dearly departed are trapped in some inferior being, in an animal, a plant, an inanimate object, indeed lost to us until the day, which for some never arrives, when we find that we pass near the tree, or come to possess the object which is their prison. Then they quiver, call us, and as soon as we have recognized them, the spell is broken. Freed by us, they have vanquished death and return to live with us.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
