Ryan Baldi wrote books about two all-time great Premier League teams: Arsene Who? The Story of the Wenger Revolution (the paperback has just been released) tells the story of Arsenal's 98 Double; and They Always Score: The Unforgettable, Improbable, Iconic Story of Manchester United’s Treble Winners is a detailed portrait of that season.

Both books came out in October 2023. Both are excellent. I wanted to find out how he did it. So, I asked him. Our conversation covers some of the below topics.

- Time management: how Ryan managed to bring up a young family, write two books at once and still catch Boston Celtics game late at night

- Structure: whiteboards, flashcards, folders - how Ryan plotted out his own book-writing ‘double’

- Interviewing: how Ryan lands big interviews; and, when he does, how he manages to get the best material
