Ivan Savvidis, the president of Greek club PAOK on Tuesday apologized after invading the pitch with a gun in his waistband, an incident that prompted the suspension of the championship indefinitely.
“I am very sorry for what happened. I clearly had no right to enter the field of play in this fashion,” Ivan Savvidis said in a statement.
"I'd like to apologize to the fans of PAOK, to all Greek fans and to the international football community," he added. "Believe me, I had no plans to quarrel with the referee or the opponents, and I clearly did not threaten anyone."
