It's, yeah, it's especially good if you're living in Spain, in Catalonia, it just dominates the talk, you know.
Yeah, no, I kind of fell into sports.
When I moved to Spain, I just immediately started writing about football.
I still play football, still play five-a-side or try to, but I had always been a huge Liverpool fan and stuff, always interested in sport, but my background is in features.
But I've written on rugby and golf and things like that, other interests.
But with the passing of every year, I'm more and more into soccer.
I love it because the stories are so good.
You don't get those kind of stories in other sports or they're very hard to find.
I write mainly on kind of feature aspects of football, so stuff on corruption and that.
I wasn't rushing to do another book after the classical one because it's such an undertaking.
I was making radio documentaries.
But I had the idea for, when I got this idea for the book on HH because of the doping aspect, the investigation, I said, yeah, there's such a good story here.
But it was still a slog, like six years it took to write research and write the manuscript.
I'd love to do another book, but it's just such a huge undertaking because, you know, the day job is as a journalist and you're trying to fit it in around your family commitments as well and stuff.
So it's not easy.
And like radio documentaries or working on a podcast at the moment, a podcast story, they're easier or they're not as big an undertaking.
And
They're also more social.
You're working with producers and stuff like that.
Books are so solitary, bar the interviews, which are great, great crack, great fun.
