Peter Bell was born in South Korea, and adopted by an Australian couple as a baby.

He was raised in a large, loving family in Kojonup, a small town in Western Australia.

Peter discovered a prodigious talent for AFL when he was 10. He loved the game so much he would sleep with his football at night.

He was at the peak of his professional footballing career when he got a phone call from his Korean birth mother Kyung Ae.

She had found him with the help of an ailing nun, who remembered the baby she'd handed over 25 years earlier.
