As someone who loves soccer, this was outstanding. Almost all history - from my perspective - is the history of problem solving in a dialectical manner. Problems motivate solutions, which challenge existing strategies, and if they are better at problem solving, they come to dominate but in doing so, create new problems to be solved. All the while, institutional changes - both legal and social - alter the paradigm within which that problem solving can occur.

The history of the Premier League is no different, and Cox's history discussing the way tactics developed, came to dominate, transformed, and evolved shows this process taking place in a wonderfully succinct and enjoyable manner. This is an outstanding book and a must read for any soccer fan.

Also: I listened to the audiobook of this narrated by Colin Mace and it was outstanding. This is the version available on Spotify, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
