Greek club president storms pitch with a gun

-

THE Greek Super League has been suspended indefinite­ly after a club president invaded the pitch with a gun during a match on Sunday. Ivan Savvidis, the PAOK Salonika chief, stormed the field with the firearm in a hip holster in a bid to confront the referee after his side had a late goal ruled out for offside against AEK Athens. Deeply concerned for their personal safety, the AEK players left the pitch immediatel­y and the match was duly abandoned. Police are now seeking Savvidis to arrest him, while all top-flight matches have been put on hold.
