 An interesting story of the final was that PAOK’s top goalscorer of that season Christos Dimopoulos didn’t participate as he left the team at Athens‘ airport when they arrived from Thessaloniki for the game.Dimopoulos headed to the headquarters of Motor Oil (company of Panathinaikos‘ president Vardinoyannis) in order to seal his transfer to Panathinaikos as his 5-year contract with PAOK was expiring.First legs were played on April 3, 1985.
