Dimitrios "Dimitris" Saravakos (Greek: Δημήτρης Σαραβάκος ) (born 29 July 1961), nicknamed O Μικρός (The Kid) is a Greek former football player, considered to be one of the best Greek football midfielders of all time. He started his career in Panionios and later he moved on to Panathinaikos FC, where Saravakos gained fame and matured as a footballer, evolving into a formidable attacking midfielder. After a rejection of a renewal contract offer by Panathinaikos, Saravakos moved to AEK Athens in 1994. He returned and concluded his career in Panathinaikos three years later.
