Football is an elixir if you see it going beyond the ill-fitted troll culture. Everyone tells a story here. For example, David Alaba the versatile prodigy of Bayern Munich, the champions of Europe, has a curiously interesting backstory to tell.

He is a living embodiment of the confluence of 3 continents Asia, Africa, and Europe. He was born & raised in Austria where his immigrant parents migrated. His mother was a nurse hailing from an island in the Philippines & she was Miss Philippines before coming to Austria.

His father who is now a musician and DJ at a night club in Austria was emigrated from Nigeria to study economics. Add to this, he also served in the Austrian army and was the first-ever black soldier in the decorated history of Austria.

If this is not wonderful yet, George, father of David Alaba, is claimed to be the crown prince of one of the native tribes hailing from Ogere Remo, an ancient town in Nigeria. No, he doesn’t email you asking for money either.
