Welcome to the "They Think It's All Rovers" Podcast.

Today’s episode sees us sit down with Rovers’ all-time record goalscorer, Simon Garner.

Simon spent 16 years at Ewood Park, scoring 192 goals in all competitions and was part of two promotion winning sides.

He joins us to discuss his early life in Lincolnshire, before explaining how the move to Rovers came about.

We find out about playing at Wembley in the 1987 Full Members Cup final, the heartbreak of several failed play-off campaigns, how ‘King Kenny’ had him involved in the 1992 promotion game and his departure.

Simon then discusses life at Wycombe, Wealdstone and Torquay, before a four-week spell in prison, which we hear an open and honest account of life in Kirkham prison.

We finish with Simon’s final playing days, before attention turns to his book ‘Simon Garner: One Last Shot’ to finish the podcast.

Welcome to the "They Think It's All Rovers" Podcast.

This episode sees us kick off the series with a very special guest.

Today’s guest spent around eight years with the club, a Rovers Hall of Famer, the man who achieved a promotion from the First Division, who won a Worthington Cup winners medal, who made over 350 appearances and who scored one well-known goal. Of course, it’s super Brad Friedel.

Brad joins us tell us all about early life in the States, his failed moves to England, being at Galatasaray when Graeme Souness famously planted the flag in the centre circle, his move to Liverpool, how the Rovers switch came about, promotion, the Worthington Cup win, his goal (and disappointment) away to Charlton, European nights, missed cup opportunities, his departure, his concerns for the club, time at Aston Villa and Tottenham, his retirement and more.
