Bulgarian forward Dimitar Berbatov was treated to a hero’s welcome yesterday as 10,000 jubilant PAOK Salonika fans turned up to greet the club’s new signing at their Toumba Stadium. The 34-year-old was unveiled to the media after joining the Super League club having been released by Monaco in the close season. He is the highest-profile signing in the club’s history after agreeing a two-year deal. “Thank you so much for the reception, it’s unbelievable; I didn’t expect something like this, I’m just a simple person who plays football,” said Berbatov, who came onto the pitch wearing a PAOK shirt with the number 10 on it.
