In the words of Brenda, from Bristol, \\u201cYER JOKING, ANOTHER ONE?!\\u201d.

This time Jack spoke to Trevor \\u2018Poison\\u2019 Challis to discuss the massive highs and massive lows of his five year Rovers career which spanned from 1998 to 2003.\\xa0

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\\u2019s form dipped and the stars of the late 90\\u2019s 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\\u2019s relegation and being managed by Gerry Francis and later Ray Graydon, as well temporary spells from Garry Thompson. There\\u2019s also special mentions for Derby away in the F.A. Cup and Everton in the League Cup. Challis also faced some listener questions.
