One of the favorite journalists is Simon Kuper. He was born in 1969 in Kampala (Uganda), but he grew living in London, the United States, Sweden, Holland and Jamaica.
He has studies in some of the greatest universities of the globe: Harvard University, Oxford University & the Technische Universitat in Berlin. Part of his work includes books like "Football Against the Enemy", "Ajax, the dutch, the war: Football in Europe during the Second World War" and "Soccernomics".
With his work on "Football against the Enemy" he was awarded with the William Hill Sportbook of the Year in 1994, and also recognized by the famous "Four Four Two" magazine as the "Best Football Book in History".
What I like about his works is that he mix the sports with other subjects like economy, politics, culture & history. Furthermore, I really admire his passion about the field, as he has been traveling around the globe to document and explore how does the business of football works.
Today, he works for the Financial Times (United Kingdom) and as a speaker in different universities and conferences.
