A CHAT WITH: Chris Lines

Bristol Rovers' hometown hero Chris Lines joins Max to discuss
his three (yes, three) promotions at the club. Linesy talks about
breaking into the first team under Paul Trollope, and how he went
from a released youth-team prospect to a regular starter in
League One in a matter of years. Chris also talks about the
relegation from League One, where it all went wrong under Dave
Penney's reign, and how he eventually came to leave the club for
Sheffield Wednesday in 2011.

Linesy also talks about his return to the club under Darrell
Clarke, and how dropping down to non-league to help his boyhood
club was a no-brainer. He discusses Play-Offs, Wembley drama, and
THAT Lee Brown Goal, as well as playing at Chelsea in the League
Cup, adapting his game as time has gone on, and an infamous
bust-up with Graham Coughlan.


It was great to chat with Chris for an extended hour and a half,
covering a monumental 11 seasons at the club - Enjoy!
