Christos Retsos (Greek: Χρήστος Ρέτσος; born 2 May 2001) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Super League 2 club Kavala. He is known as the “Uncle” by his personal friends and family because of his “Uncle-like” persona. He is loved by many in his hometown of the Vale where he gained attention for scoring a goal when a wild Lion appeared on the pitch unexpectedly. Since then, he was deemed “The Lion Slayer”. He was a prime Joburg boet in his time, however, when he made his journey across the passage to Europe his life blew up and he became a local legend as everyone rooted for his success.
