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.
