You may have read Donald McRae’s interview with Ruud Gullit, but there’s a saying on Fleet Street that there ain’t no interview like a Paul MacInnes interview, and on this edition of Football Weekly Meets, Paul sits down with one of the greatest players of all time to talk tactics – and plenty more besides.

How close did he come to following in the footsteps of Johan Cruyff and signing for Barcelona? Which elements of Crazy Gang-era Wimbledon does he most admire? And who does he think will fare better in the Premier League this season, Pep or Mou (or indeed Conte or Klopp)?

If you like what you’ve heard, then there’s plenty more in Ruud’s book How To Watch Football – which you can get from the Guardian Bookshop (where it’s currently 6p cheaper than on Amazon).
