Greece's stunning football triumph

BBC World Service - Sporting Witness, Greece's stunning football triumph

How rank outsiders Greece won the 2004 European Football Championship.

In July 2004, Greece pulled off one of the biggest shocks in football history by winning the European Championship with a 1-0 victory over Portugal. The Greeks had never previously scored a point in tournament football, but fought their way to the final thanks to set-pieces and a well-marshalled defence. Charlotte North talks to the Greek goal-scorer, Angelos Charisteas. The programme is a Whistledown Production.
