Books on football

I was going to start a thread just based upon my current read but I thought we might want to widen this thread to all recommended books about football. 

My recommendation is Stanley Matthews' autobiography entitled 'The way it was'. I knew he was a true footballing legend, but until I started reading what is a well-written account I did not realise he was almost certainly the first to supplement the club's training with his own, using pegs to dribble the ball around and including sprints. As well as doing extra daily exercises and practises, 'Our Stan' also worked at how he could improve his game as a winger, introducing a new approach of not waiting for the defender to tackle but rather advancing upon them. That allowed him to dictate through his dribbling skills which way he was going to try getting past. Sounds obvious but he was the first to adopt this idea. QPR does get a few mentions and he does talk favourably about Alec Stock, but this is largely about his clubs - Stole and Blackpool, and his England career. (He was scathing about the selectors, which seem not to have not improved from 'The English Game' attitude of earlier and featured in the Netflix film.)  Strongly recommended!
