We found the following books particularly useful for background information:

  • Beastly Fury: The Strange Birth of British Football by Richard Sanders (Bantam, 2010)
  • Broken Dreams: Vanity, Greed and the Souring of British Football by Tom Bower (Simon & Schuster, 2003)
  • Gol di Rapina: Il Lato Oscuro del Calcio Globale by Pippo Russo (Edizioni Clichy, 2014)

For details about the agent Juan Figer, the exhaustive minutes of the Brazilian Senate's 2001 parliamentary inquiry were helpful. Suzanna Andrews's excellent 2009 Vanity Fair story “The Widow and The Oligarchs” assisted us in better understanding the lives of Boris Berezovsky and Badri Patarkatsishvili.
