Manolis Roubakis is one of the most popular and richest Greek footballer who was born on January 6, 1979 in Heraklion, Greece. Emmanouil “Manolis” Roubakis, also known as Manoles Roumpakes (Greek: Manoles Roumpakes; born 6th January 1979), is a professional Greek footballer who plays in Atsalenios’ Greek Football League 2. Although he is right-footed, his natural position in the team is left back. However, he can play on both flanks of defense.
Roubakis did not meet Panathinaikos’s expectations and made only 4 league appearances between 2004-05 and 2005-06. Roubakis, despite being eligible to play in the UEFA Cup match against Sevilla CF, was not registered to Panathinaikos round of 32 match. Roubakis, who was playing for Panathinaikos in his fourth and final match against Kerkyra on February 27, 2005, was booed by the crowd. He was replaced in the 51st minutes by Zdenek Scasny, Panathinaikos manager, and was never used again.
Before the start of the 2007–08 season, Roubakis was linked to newly promoted Beta Ethniki champions Asteras Tripoli, but a move did not materialize – instead, he voted by his OFI teammates as third captain behind Goran Drulić and Pierre Issa. However, there was no smooth sailing both for OFI manager Reiner Maurer and Roubakis after a bad start in the league, with OFI fans demanding the resignation of the former and contempting the latter for poor performance and for joining rival Panathinaikos three years before. Despite this, Roubakis managed to make 25 appearances for the club during that season.
After OFI’s disappointing previous season, Roubakis vowed to never repeat the team’s poor performance and he set the goal towards continental qualification for the following 2006–07 season. Roubakis scored a goal 46 seconds after kick-off in an away game against Iraklis and contributed to another goal in the same match, which ended in a 3–2 victory for OFI. He scored another goal on 17 March 2007 in an away game against Egaleo, after an assist by Joseph Nwafor. Roubakis finished the season with 26 appearances, with OFI qualifying for the 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup after PAOK’s refusal to take part in it.
Roubakis was finally released by Panathinaikos. He signed a two-year contract with OFI in July 2005. He played 25 matches in 2005-06 Alpha Ethniki. This was a season that ended with mixed feelings as the top-half favorite only managed to avoid relegation on the final matchdays.

Roubakis was born in Heraklion (Crete) and began his career in the youth academy of Atsalenios. He made his debut in 1998 with the first Delta Ethniki team against AO Chalkida. He was considered an essential member of the Heraklion club. In the 2000-01 Delta Ethniki, he scored four goals for Atsalenios.
Roubakis signed a 4-year contract in December 2001 with OFI Crete as an Alpha Ethniki player.

He was substituted for Manolis Diemitzakis in 75 minutes. Roubakis was a veteran OFI player who made a total 58 league appearances. He also scored the winning goal against Aris in a 2-1 away win on 28 September 2003.
In January 2005, Roubakis was transferred to Panathinaikos FC for a reported fee of about 200K Euros and he signed a contract until summer 2009. This move was welcomed as a “dream come true” by the player, himself reporting that Panathinaikos was the club he supported as a child – however, the fans of OFI had a different opinion, accusing OFI’s board of dishonesty, as (according to the fans) the board members promised they would not sell Roubakis to Panathinaikos during the winter transfer period.
