What are you most proud of out of your research, studies and work?
That's a good question. I think my favourite book is still probably my first - the book about Milan [Milan since the Miracle, 2001, 2003] - because I put so much time and energy into it. It was also linked up to where I was living at the time. So in some ways that was something I still like a lot. However, the football book [Calcio, 2006, 2007] is the one that has given me most satisfaction because it has an afterlife that none of the other books have: it has a life, you know, I get people on Twitter talking about it, people ringing me up who I've never met before, and people who have read it. So it has a life, and it's made me meet Paolo Rossi, the guy who won the World Cup in 1982, so it's taken me lots of places that I probably never would've gone with the other books.
