About this listen
Winner of the British Sports Book Awards
Football Book of the Year
The fifteenth anniversary edition, fully revised and updated, of Jonathan Wilson's modern classic.
In the modern classic, Jonathan Wilson pulls apart the finer details of the world's game, tracing the global history of tactics, from modern pioneers right back to the beginning, when chaos reigned. Along the way, he looks at the lives of great players and thinkers who shaped the sport, and probes why the English, in particular, have proved themselves unwilling to grapple with the abstract.
Fully revised and updated, this fifteenth-anniversary edition analyses the evolution of modern international football, including the 2022 World Cup, charting the influence of the great Spanish, German and Portuguese tacticians of the last decade, whilst pondering the effects of footballs increased globalisation and commercialisation.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Epic book!!
Extremely detailed and well documented work by Jonathan Wilson. I really enjoyed every transition through the history of football.
The start is very slow but the book gets better as you advance.
A must for every football fan that wants to understand the evolution of this sport.
