A Game of Two Halves by Dave Gardiner

The visualisation investigates the relative age effect in English football, by examining the dates of birth of every post-war England footballer. Each player is represented by a diagonal line in the graphic below, with 1966 World Cup winners and captains highlighted in orange and dark grey respectively. The calendar heat map displays the total number of caps won by players born on each day of the year.
