Thyra 7 (Gate 7) is forever etched in history as the worst tragedy in Olympiakos history and will never be forgotten. On 2 February, 1981, Olympiakos played AEK and crushed them 6-0. Fans wanted to spill out of the old Karaiskaki onto the streets to celebrate this huge victory, but at Gate 7, someone forgot to unlock the gate. A man rushing to get out fell, and this caused a chain reaction of others falling. 21 people were crushed to death. 21 seats with the victims names are dedicated in the new Karaiskaki and will remain forever empty. Dimitris Adamopoulos (aged 40) Gerasimos Amitsis (aged 18 ) Spyros Andriotis (aged 24) Kostas Billas (aged 28 ) Christos Chadjigeorgiou (aged 34) Zografoula Chairatidou (aged 23) Yannis Dialinas (aged 20) Nikos Filos (aged 19) Yannis Kanellopoulos (aged 18 ) Kostas Karanikolas (aged 26) Michalis Kostopoulos (aged 21) Antonis Kouroupakis (aged 34) Spyros Leonidakis (aged 18 ) Efstratios Loupos (aged 20) Michalis Markou (aged 27) Vassilis Machas (aged 20) Ilias Panagoulis (aged 17) Anastasios Pitsolis (aged 30) Kostas Sklavounis (aged 16) Yannis Spiliopoulos (aged 19) Panagiotis Toumanidis (aged 14)
------------------------
The history of Karaiskaki Stadium is unfortunately marked by the worst tragedy ever to hit Greek sports and football in particular. It happened on the 8th of February 1981, right after the end of the derby between Olympiakos CFP and AEK Athens FC.
The match ended in an unprecedented triumph for the Piraeus team: 6 goals to 0. The final whistle saw thousands of fans rushing to the exits, trying to get to the stadium's main entrance and celebrate with the players. The stairs of Gate 7 became a death trap. The doors were almost closed and the turnstiles still in place, making exit almost impossible. People continued to come down from the stands, not being able to see what happened below because of the stair's shape. The fatal accident left tens of fans seriously injured and 21 young people dead, most by suffocation.

Yannis Spiliopoulos (aged 19)
Panagiotis Toumanidis (aged 14)
The most tragic (but also enraging) fact is that no one was ever found guilty for what happened, the court hearing unbelievable stories of how no one was responsible!
Karaiskaki Stadium with its old form is now part of history. One thing is however for sure: the 21 tragic victims of Gate 7 will never be forgotten. 21 seats with their names, which will always be left empty, will be inside the new stadium. This is a promise by Olympiakos and is perhaps the least that can be done in their memory.
