South Melbourne FC is saddened to hear of the passing of Life Member Vicky Sagiakos.

Mrs Sagiakos was a long-time supporter and member of the club, while also being the wife of former Board Member, Club Secretary and Volunteer Nick Sagiakos.

Speaking to smfc.com.au, Club President Leo Athanasakis passed on his condolences from everyone at the club. “We were all saddened to hear of the passing of Vicky Sagiakos, a wonderful South person and someone who was a huge part of the SMFC Family. We would like to also offer our support to her husband Nick Sagiakos, who continues to be a much loved member of the club.”

Our players honoured the Sagiakos family by wearing black arm bands during last night’s win against Kingston City FC​

The funeral will be held on Thursday May 18th at St Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church, 1 Gladstone St, Moonee Ponds at 10.30 am.

South Melbourne FC will travel to The Grange Reserve for the first league match since 2007, as we take on Kingston City on Monday night.

South will be looking to take their undefeated run to 9 matches in all competitions, while also coming of the back of a hard fought 0-0 draw away to Bentleigh Greens. After a slow start to the season that saw South register only 4 points from the first 6 games, a win on Monday night could see South finish the first half of the season only one win away from top spot.

Kingston City are coming off a home 2-1 loss to Heidelberg United on Monday night and will be looking to get their season back on track with a win against South. Kingston sit only 2 points away from the relegation playoff spot need to start accumulating some points if they are to consolidate there NPL status for next season.

The last match between these two clubs in the Victorian top-flight at The Grange Reserve saw south take the chocolates on the day with a 3-0 win. On that day, Billy Natsioulas scored a double, while Arthur Tsonis also found the back of the net

The club urges all South fans to get out to The Grange Reserve on Monday night to support the boys.
