Players analysis, in distribution.
What month were most goalkeepers born? Do attackers cluster differently from defenders? Where do the GOATs (Michel Platini, Marco van Basten, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi…) fall on the curve — on the modal month or as outliers?

Birth month, by position
One chart per role. GOAT pin-marks (gold dots above the bars) call out where iconic players sit. Look for the “relative-age effect” — many youth-academy systems privilege Q1 birthdays (Jan-Mar) for early physical development, and you sometimes see the same skew in elite squads.
