Wanted: Roni Kalderon poster

The boy for whom football was in his soul, grew up in Tel Aviv in the late 1960s without his parents who left for the USA.

Then, he was invited to go to the Netherlands and play for the coveted Ajax football club. This was only the opening whistle for the real game of his life: he would soon find himself deep in international drug trafficking, constantly escaping from the law, until he disappeared off the face of the earth.
