Crystal Palace
After Greece won Euro 2004, lakis signed for a season long loan with Crystal Palace in the Premiership. He made 10 appearances for Palace. And notably missed the goal from 6 yards in the game against Arsenal at Selhurst Park while the score was 1-1. It is likely that Palace would have won the match had he scored. Unfortunately the club was relegated the same year and Lakis decided to return to Greece and his previous club AEK Athens FC.

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or palace:
“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“For the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all;
No palace too great, no cottage too small.”
—Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)
