I'm pretty sure he wrote his own wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ball_(writer) All of his sources are just his ESPNsoccernet articles

Blatter deserves a Nobel peace prize for this http://www.si.com/longform/2015/mls/index.html?xid=si_social quote:I remember a meeting between Alan and Sepp Blatter. Alan did his whole song and dance about bigger goals, which would lead to more scoring. Human beings—goalkeepers in particular—had gotten bigger and bigger over the years, making scoring much harder. And Sepp Blatter just looked at him like, ‘Everyone across the world would have to buy new goals; do you realize what you are contemplating?’ He was just shaking his head.
