My loyal readers keep asking me when I'm going to write another footie book. To tell the truth I've written about the greatest footballer ever - Maradona, the most politically passionate club in the world - FC Barcelona, and now I've taken on Beckham and Real Madrid - arguably you can't go bigger than that. But as Florentino Perez said when asked whether he ever wanted Beckham-months before signing him- "In football, you can never say never." I've got a trilogy behind me. If I do write another footie book I'll have to be convinced there is a bigger subject out there which I can say something different about. In the meantime I'll always be interested in Spain and its history and Latin America. I'm also interested in spies. Maybe I might work on that.

In fact you may not have long to wait. There is a new book on its way about my late Dad, and the secret world he inhabited during World War Two and beyond….It’s due out in the autumn. It’s my first non-footie opus for a while.
