World traveler. I have lived in many countries. Born in South America and spent most of my youth in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. My love for history and my profound love for the world game - FOOTBALL. Prompted me to write this amazing story. I was always amazed as I traveled extensively around the world and listened to the many sad and sometimes happy stories of the heroes who fought in the two major wars. I dedicate 'Love, War & The Magic Ball' to them. And also, to the billions of Football lovers (Soccer) from all over the world.
