Author: Chris Anderson and David Sally

An early, readable argument for using data in football, challenging assumptions about goals, luck and what actually wins matches. Some examples have dated, but the way of thinking has not. Kirkus Reviews found it “witty and thoughtful”, and The Times said it was “the book that could change the game forever”. Best for: readers curious about where football analytics began.
