Traianos Dellas (Greek: Τραϊανός Δέλλας, born on 31 January 1976 in Thessaloniki, Greece) is a Greek football manager and former player, who played as a defender. He was an integral part of Greece's Euro 2004 winning squad, during which he became the only player to score a silver goal in an international football match.
Dellas got his start with Greek side Aris for two years, where he helped the Hellenic football club of Thessaloniki to qualify for the UEFA Cup. He played together with Fanis Katergiannakis in 2004 when they won Euro 2004 with the Greek national team in Portugal.
In the summer 1995 Dellas moved on loan for one year to Panserraikos.
He then returned to Aris again before joining Sheffield United in England. Dellas is best remembered by Sheffield United fans for a game against Tranmere Rovers in March 1999. With United 2–0 down, Dellas came on as a substitute and scored twice as they won 3–2. His only other Blades goal was an amazing 30-yard strike in a home game against Portsmouth which was also a late winner.
He returned to Greece with AEK, where he won the Greek Cup with the club of Athens, with big players like Demis Nikolaidis and Vassilios Tsiartas, gain the second place in the Greek Superleague.
