Description

Rich in footballing anecdotes and hard science, Moving the Goalposts offers an astonishing rethink of the game by revolutionary football historian Rob Jovanovic.

All too often categorised alongside "lies" and "damned lies", statistics in football have for too long been overlooked, ignored or just plain misinterpreted.

Yet in the high-pressure business of modern football, statistical data are central to player and performance analysis.

Now Jovanovic applies the same exacting, objective analysis to other aspects of the game such as tactics, records and history, uncovering unexpected truths and exploding myths along the way.

The book will tell you how Maradona came to have a negative impact on Argentina's results; why Jack Charlton was a better defender than the iconic Bobby Moore; why the 1929/30 Sheffield Wednesday team was the greatest English club side ever - plus 65 more eye-opening revelations.

You'll never look at football in the same way again!
