Nicola Legrottaglie was born in Gioia del Colle (Italy) in 1976. For years he played as a regular defender in one of the worldwide known Italian soccer teams, Juventus. Nicola reached the peak of his career in 2003 when he was purchased by Juventus. His success on the field was immediately accompanied by fame, beautiful women, and a lot of money. He soon became a blond-highlighted “dandy” with the reputation of being a night owl. This continued until the day he met Jesus and discovered joy and peace in believing, praying, and living according to the will of God.
