The Golden Star
In Greece the institution of Golden Star for Sports Excellence in order to recognize sides that have won multiple championships by the display of gold stars on their badges, is unofficial. At this time only Olympiacos has adopted this practice by placing four Golden Stars above to its emblem (one star for each ten titles received in 1954, in 1975, in 2001 and in 2013 respectively). Other teams which have the same option are Panathinaikos (two Golden Stars received in 1970 and in 2010) and AEK (one Golden Star received in 1993).

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or star:
“Fair Hope! our earlier Heaven! by thee
Young Time is taster to Eternity.
The generous wine with age grows strong, not sour,
Nor need we kill thy fruit to smell thy flower.
Thy golden head never hangs down
Till in the lap of Love’s full noon
It falls and dies: Oh no, it melts away
As doth the dawn into the day,
As lumps of sugar lose themselves, and twine
Their subtle essence with the soul of wine.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
