| 520 | |a Soccer fans love to argue about the tactics a manager puts into play, and this fascinating study traces the world history of tactics, from modern pioneers right back to the beginning, where chaos reigned.

This is a modern classic of soccer writing that followers of the game will dip into again and again. | ||
