The Ball Is Round- David Goldblatt.
Not even half way through this monster of a book yet but the content and writing are both superb. Must be the definite book about football and how it links with society.

Just sharing a great podcast about one of my favourite football books
Tim Parks - A year with Verona

Well worth a listen
As stated above, Inverting the Pyramid is excellent for a history of football tactics.
In the same vein, autobiogs by hairy-ersed types like Allardyce or Warnock are great glimpses into how to survive against the odds.
Dynamo by Andy Dougan is a good read, a bit more than just the football team but a great insight into what Dynamo Kiev were about and what the team meant to the people.

Not a book as such but the quarterly “periodical” Nutmeg is a decent read. Next one will be due out in March.
I won a copy of 'the next big thing: how fpotball' s wonder kids lose their way'
By Ryan baldi. It was a bunch of interviews with players who were all at one point seen as the next big thing. Was a good read.
Would second the shouts for:
Miracle of castel Di sangro
The unstoppable keeper
Robert enke
A season with verona
