Through the Years: The illustrious career of Steve 'Greek' Antonopulos It paid $25 a week plus room and board, he said with a laugh. And he played the whole game. In announcing the retirement of the man everyone called Greek, the Broncos said he treated 980 different players in the regular season and playoffs. Scissors, tape remover, whirlpools, ultrasound gel, and treatment tables. Their bones, cartilage, and ligaments bear theburden of these familial expectations. We had a few of those guys, but he was to the hilt. We allowed the soft tissues to heal and put him on a strengthening program and he played in about 10 days. Steve Antonopulos, a.k.a. But according to those who know him well, Greeks domain also contains a rare element in the Not For Long professional football league: an endless supply of unsentimental, deep compassion.

Broncos trainer Steve Antonopulos retires after 45 seasons During John Elway's 16-year playing career and his decade leading the Broncos' front office, he was able to rely on Director of Sports Medicine Steve "Greek" Antonopulos for a lot. Those things are unbelievable and the number of great people and great minds of technology was phenomenal with what you can do for the medical care of football players., Without question, it was our second year here (1984) and he had to go in the offseason to Boston for a Lloyds of London insurance policy. He worked under three owners and 10 head coaches and was a part of 22 playoff teams and three Super Bowl champions. I love caring for people.
