Famous Eddie's Ballatorie (Work In Progress)

Eddie Plein, the Surinamese inventor of the gold pull-out grill, takes us on an intimate exploration of his futbol utopia, Ballatorie. It's "the greatest game never seen", a match between Brazil vs. The Netherlands. Plein, "Coach P", briefs us on his transition from ball player to gold craftsman, cementing his legacy with the historic Famous Eddie's Gold Teeth in Atlanta.
