BOOK SYNOPSIS
The inspirational story of respected football talent scout, Rui Marques. Instead of continuing on the rather dull career path of an economist, Rui transformed his destiny by winning major Fantasy Football competitions in two different countries, and carving his own unique path into the real world of football.
From early childhood Rui developed a great passion for football, yet only years later came to recognise his gift of being able spot raw sporting talent. After completing an economics degree, Rui entered a Daily Mirror Fantasy Football competition - and won first prize of £75,000. This was followed with another Fantasy first place in Germany, scooping €100,000 prize. As a result he earned his first scouting role at a Portuguese club, but after only two seasons he graduated to first-team European scout at Sporting Kansas City, establishing himself in the football industry and helping his team win important trophies. Rui then went on to become international scout for Polish champions Legia Warsaw. The Unknown Champion is the ultimate proof that if we follow our dreams, they can come true.
