Perspective
Voitsidis began playing football for the team of his homeland, Aris Palefytou. At the age of 18, he was scouted by Kastoria and in 1979 they eventually signed him. There, he excelled with the great team of the late 70s, with players such as Nikos Sarganis, Georgios Paraschos, and Giannis Dintsikos. At 25 May 1980 they achieved a great surprise as they managed to beat Iraklis by 5–2 and win the Greek Cup.[1] He also played in the 1980 Greek Super Cup, scoring the last goal of his team in the 4–3 defeat against Olympiacos.[2] He stayed at Kastoria despite their relegation in 1983.[3] In the summer of 1984, he was transferred to AEK Athens, where he was reunited with his former teammate, Dintsikos.[4]
At AEK Voitsidis was used as an alternative solution at the team's offense. He mainly helped with his height in tight matches, but he was certainly not the player to replace the team's main striker, Håkan Sandberg. Nevertheless, he stayed at the club for three seasons, occasionally helping the team to get results in difficult matches, but he did not manage to score even once in the championship.[5]
In the summer of 1987 he signed at PAS Giannina, where he spent two seasons playing in the second division.[6] Afterwards, he moved to Eordaikos, where he ended his career as footballer.
