Victoras Theofilopoulos

Victoras Theofilopoulos (; born 1951) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

Club career Theofilopoulos began his football career when he joined the youth team of Panionios at the age of 16 and he was almost immediately promoted to the men's team. He became a key member of the team in an era that perhaps was the best in the history of the club, since in 1969 they made the historical record to have five players of their roster representing Greece simultaneously. He was in the squad of Panionios that won the Balkans Cup and finished in the second place of the Championship in 1971. The following season they competed in the UEFA Cup, where they eliminated the Atlético Madrid on away goals in the first round. However in the second round they played against Ferencváros and after the end of a heavy 6–0 defeat in the first leg, incidents occurred by their fans which led in their ejection from the competition.

In the summer of 1974, the new owner of AEK Athens, Loukas Barlos alongside the newly-hired manager of the club, František Fadrhonc were planning to form a full roster, with two equal line-ups. In the search for a both reliable and offensive left-back, they ended up in Theofilopoulos. Thus, on 8 August he, alongside his teammates, Giorgos Skrekis and Georgios Dedes were transferred to the yellow-blacks. Panionios received the amount of 2 million drachmas and Kostas Panagiotopoulos, Babis Psimogiannos and Ivan Kypritidis as exchange. At AEK, he failed to impress and did not manage to establish himself in the squad. In the following summer was loaned to Kastoria, where he played for a season, before moving to Apollon Athens, where he ended his professional career in 1977.

In 1972 he played with the Military team in the qualifying matches for the World Military Cup of that year, but did not play in the final phase.

After football After finishing his football career, Theofilopoulos became actively involved again with his Panionios, serving as a curator and offering his services from various positions. In January 2011 he was honored by the Veterans Association of AEK Athens.
