A CHAT WITH: Trevor Challis

In the words of Brenda, from Bristol, “YER JOKING, ANOTHER
ONE?!”.

This time Jack spoke to Trevor ‘Poison’ Challis to discuss the
massive highs and massive lows of his five year Rovers career
which spanned from 1998 to 2003. 


Trevor played under Ian Holloway, Garry Thompson, Gerry Francis
and Ray Graydon. He speaks favourably about the start of his time
at The Gas but as the team’s form dipped and the stars of the
late 90’s left, things became very different.


We discuss what went wrong in that infamous 99/00 season, how
good that squad was, what Holloway was like, the player exodus,
00/01’s relegation and being managed by Gerry Francis and later
Ray Graydon, as well temporary spells from Garry Thompson.
There’s also special mentions for Derby away in the F.A. Cup and
Everton in the League Cup. Challis also faced some listener
questions.
