Alexandros Tzorvas (born August 12, 1982 in Athens) is a Greek goalkeeper currently playing for OFI Crete. Ηe began his career from Panathinaikos renowned football academy but despite his potential he found it hard to get opportunities in the first team as the more experienced Antonis Nikopolidis, Konstantinos Chalkias and Stefanos Kotsolis provided more than full cover for the goalkeeping position. Due to the strong competition and as the team laid hopes on him for the future in the next 4 years he was loaned to the affiliated teams of Agios Nikolaos, Markopoulo and Thrasyvoulos in order to gain experience.In 2005 Panathinaikos recalled him from loan as a cover for Mario Galinovic and Pierre Ebede. A lack of first team opportunities led to his trade to OFI with Orestis Karnezis - a hot goalkeeping prospect too - following the opposite path. A string of very good performances made him quickly a starter for the team from Crete even though his transfer was looked critically by OFI fans mainly because of what they see as one sided "colonial"-style agreements that their team is singing with Panathinaikos.[1] As of 21 of March Otto Rehhagel called Tzorvas as third choice GK for the friendly against Portugal on 26 March at Frankfurt, Germany2008.[2]
Alexandros is a die-hard fan of Panathinaikos.Once, in a game against Olympiakos at Karaiskákis Stadium, he went in front of the partisan opposition fans and kissed the shamrock badge on his shirt.
