Expected Goals: The Story of How Data Conquered Football and Changed the Game Forever by Rory Smith

4.5

informative relaxing slow-paced

---

This book told a great story about the history of data and how it evolved from people dismissed to way it's being used today. The anecdotes about different people's stories entry point into football along with stories about events that nearly happened made for a good read. Would recommend this book to anyone interested in football or even purely statistics.
