Mark Ziaian is an author with many hats. Hundreds of people will know him simply as a teacher, though many people he has interviewed or worked with will recognise him as a journalist and the inventor of the Ziaian football ranking system. In some circles he is known as a magician, though this side of him has hardly ever been seen in print.
Mark is from London and has represented England in 57 countries. As a linguist, he has created multilingual dictionaries and written many unpublished short stories and a few poems in several languages. He is internationally known, but not well known, for his comedy.
