The dramatic memoir of a Singaporean football legend. Surprising and inspiring in equal measure, Beyond Borders describes the remarkable journey of Aleksandar Duric.
Born in Bosnia in the former SocialistFederal Republic of Yugoslavia, Aleksandar Duric overcame a difficult childhoodto become a junior canoeing champion. Against all odds, he made an unlikelyappearance at the 1992 Olympic Games whilst the fires of the Bosnian War ragedin his homeland, a war that had tragic consequences for the Duric family. A nomadic career in football followed, beforeDuric finally found his feet - and his home - in Singapore. 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.

Aleksandar Duric, a native Bosnian turned Singaporean citizen, has lived a whirlwind life that led him to become a legend of Singaporean sport. He holds the record for most goals ever scored in Singapore's top division, the S-League, and made more than 50 appearances for the Singapore national football team despite only making his international debut at the age of 37. Beyond Borders was co-written with Glenn Wray, a Northern Irishman who works in the publishing industry in Singapore.
