January 1997. AFC Bournemouth were in dire straits. The club was on its knees and struggling to keep going. It could have spelled the end of the club. However one man had different ideas and it is a pleasure in this first half of a two part interview to be joined by that man - Trevor Watkins - whose actions in rallying a strong team and the fans saved the club from extinction.

In this first half of our interview with Trevor we discuss:

🍒 His Early memories of supporting AFC Bournemouth and his early career...

🍒 The moment he got involved and how he rallied the fans and a team around him to become the first supporter owned club in the country...

🍒 The Winter Gardens...

🍒 The challenges he faced as the New Chairman of the club and how the club continued going...

🍒 The Ken Dando Stadium Appeal and how he the club founded the very stadium we enjoy today...

🍒 The Outgoings and Incomings at AFC Bournemouth including the signing of Roger Boli

🍒 And Lots Lots More...

So please do enjoy our special interview with a man who saved the Cherries. Part 2 will be coming same time tomorrow.
