Ryan Fraser: Eddie, Ronnie and a dog called Maisie

Ryan Fraser is my guest on this, the first of a two-part interview we recorded in Bournemouth at the end of January.

The wonderful world of Ryan Fraser involves cooking, dog-walking, meditation, what he learned from playing Real Madrid and how Eddie Howe compares to Pep Guardiola. This is one of the best interviews we’ve done in a long time.

Hope you enjoy!
