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.

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.

On the same subject, I enjoyed The Mixer by Michael Cox. It’s written from an English premier point of view, but provides a very interesting insight into how tactics changed in that league, particularly with the influence of foreign players and coaches. Originally Posted by heretoday

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
