Yordan from a very young age he showed his talent and played football in Prasina Poulia, where he was noticed by Kleanthis Maropoulos, who had also played in the Messinian team.
At the age of 17, he was transferred to the Beyoğlu.
In 1959 signed a professional contract with Beykoz in the newly founded Turkish Süper Lig.
He remained in Beykoz for three seasons, until he returned to Greece to play for AEK Athens, the continuation of Pera Club for the old Constantinopolitans.
At the same time, he had very tempting offers from Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, but the only thing in the mind of the Yordan was returning to Greece to wear the yellow-black.
He agreed to sign for AEK in 1962 despite the ban from the HFF, as at that time it was forbidden for a professional footballer to compete in the first division, he was forced to wait for the appeals and legal disputes to end.
It was once again Maropoulos who did everything possible for this great footballer to play in the team.
Yordan adapted immediately, put in some terrific performances at AEK, attracted the interest of Bayern Munich, which asked AEK for signing him.
AEK's demands were exorbitant, they rejected the Germans twice and it did the same with Beşiktaş in 1965.
2 Greek Cups and was a member of the squad that reached the Balkans Cup final in 1967, as well as the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 1969.
Yordan did not want to return to Turkey, in 1968 he again refused a transfer to Beşiktaş, even though he was already 30 years old, he wanted to continue playing for AEK.
With AEK, being one of their key players, he won 2 Championships.
He left at the behest of Branko Stanković in the summer of 1969 as part of the Yugoslavian manager's radical overhaul, moving at the age of 32 to Egaleo, which he led to a stunning 4th place finish in the league in 1971.
He ended his huge career competing in the lower divisions of Greece, with the complaint that he did not play for national team.
Yordan was called up to the Turkey at the age of 18, where he played 3 times, despite the hostile atmosphere and the stares from his teammates.
The Italian coach of the Turks, however, ignored everything and wanted the Greek player in the team at all costs, alongside Lefter Küçükandonyadis.
Yordan took over as player-coach of Fokikos, where he won three local cups.
He then took over as coach of Asteras Itea, where he had settled permanently, even after the end of his football career.
