Christos' Heart was in Greece
HEARTS star Christos Karipidis has revealed how the club blocked his summer return to Greece after the birth of his child.
The 25-year-old signed from PAOK Salonika in July 2006 and the Greeks wanted to re-sign him.
Karipidis said: "Having a child changed things. I want what is best for my family and for me and that was being in Greece.
"PAOK offered money but Hearts wanted more.
"I spoke to the boss who asked me to stay. These things happen."
