The Curse of Teko Modise, by Nikolaos Kirkinis.
The Curse of Teko Modise, by Nikolaos Kirkinis.
Teko 'the General' Modise is one of the best footballers South Africa has ever produced. But life wasn't always kind. This book tells it all, from poverty to fame, from love to divorce. It is the story of a fatherless father trying to make sense of parenthood and a man who never had money trying to make sense of an abundance of wealth.

I enjoyed reading this biography. This book does a great job of highlighting how much in a footballer's life that fans do not see. It helps translate how human footballers are despite them not being treated as such. They are not immune to the trials of this life. Strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves the beautiful game.
