Greece's captain and a shoe-in for a starting spot in the heart of midfield as plans begin for another shock success.
Basinas is the thinking man of the Greek side and will be keen for one last hurrah.
The 32-year-old will also always be remembered for delivering the corner which allowed Angelos Charisteas to win the European Championship four years ago.
Basinas earned the skipper's armband following a string of impressive performances in qualification, which were capped by a screaming 25-yard half-volley in the penultimate game against Malta.
Everton and Birmingham have been touted as admirers of Basinas in the past, but he is currently on the books of Real Mallorca.
