In this Wednesday, June 8 , 2009 photo, Orthodox priest Father Christos Mitsios poses in  front of a banner of Greek football club PAOK Thessaloniki, in Thessaloniki, Greece. Many hard-core football fans follow the sport religiously, and Father Christos Mitsios is no exception. The 51-year-old Greek Orthodox priest has become a mainstay in the hardcore section at PAOK Thessaloniki matches, cheering on the team and offering help and guidance to many of Greece's most fervent supporters in the fearsome Gate 4 section of the Toumba Stadium. Church elders stripped Father Christos of his administrative responsibilities, angry at his blunt refusal to stop attending matches. But a campaign with 18,000 followers launched on the social media site Facebook last year helped insure that his punishment stopped there.
