“An inspirational read.” Bryan Robson, former captain of England and Manchester United (Bryan Robson)

Born in Bosnia in the former SocialistFederal Republic of Yugoslavia, Aleksandar Duric overcame a difficult childhoodto become a junior canoeing champion. It was in this SoutheastAsian nation that Duric truly made his name, becoming an all-conquering forcein Singapore's top domestic league and going on to represent the Singaporenational team more than 50 times.Told in a refreshingly frank and honest manner,Beyond Borders is far more than afootballer's memoir.

Duric's tale of tragedy and triumph, adversity andadventure, is as surprising as it is inspiring.
