Greek fans call him the "Greek god". The dashing forward currently plays
for German side Bayer Leverkusen. He has been very successful in the last few years,
being top goalscorer of the Greek League (17 goals) in 2005 and runner-up in 2006 (15 goals),
and top scorer of the German Bundesliga in 2007 (20 goals). Gekas' salary at Bayer Leverkusen is estimated
to be €2 million a year, four times what he earned at VfL Bochum. Gekas' first
game for Bayer Leverkusen was a friendly which Bayer won 15-1; Gekas scored 7 of those 15.
However despite a promising start and being the top scorer for Bayer Leverkusen and
second highest scorer in the whole League this season, Gekas has been consistently
dropped by coach Michael Skibbe making mostly sub appearances.
Gekas has also won 14 caps of the Greek National Team. He has been described as a
prolific forward with a vision for goal. Gekas got his first hat-trick for the National
Team with 3 goals against Malta.
