I believe Konstantinos Tsimikas is supposed to be good but he can’t usurp Andrew Robertson which is fair enough.
Jose Holebas made 100+ appearances for Watford.
Other than that I’m struggling.

Giorgios Samaras (Man City, West Brom), Stelios (Bolton), Sotirios Kyrgiakos (Liverpool).

Not many though.

Couple of borderline cases mentioned there yes by various people, thanks. I was struggling to even think of Greek players who played outside the Prem but for ‘big’ European clubs and thus would qualify as good enough. Celtic and Samaras was about as far as I’d got yes and Sokratis I suppose just about but even those at the smaller Prem teams I wasn’t remembering as household names that established themselves in the first team.

Compared to most smaller Euro nations in that timeframe they didn’t seem to produce many players but could it be the borderline ones don’t often leave their pretty poor home league and develop.

Greece has produced more top class basketballers than footballers.

It’s probably a lot easier if you’re happy to sign absolute shite.

His goal scoring record is worse than Akpom in Greece.
He's a promising young player. Like the dozens we have, maybe he'll just make it, maybe he'll be a world beater and maybe he'll bomb
