The GasCast interview train keeps on rolling... Promotion. Finals at both Wembley and the Millennium Stadium, all whilst sporting a cracking tan, this man has done it all in the blue and white quarters. No, not Ryan Green, no, not Sammy Igoe, no, not Chris Carruthers, no, not Sean Rigg, BUT Super Lewis Haldane! Jack spoke to Lewis about his early breakthrough at The Gas, his struggles with matchday nerves, his debut goal, being frozen out by Ian Atkins and then a cracking couple of seasons under Paul Trollope - beating City, playing in a JPT final in Cardiff and getting Man of the Match, that end of season form and to top it off, promotion at Wembley. We also talk about how the end of his Rovers career left a sour taste, and how two freak injuries at Port Vale ended his career. The first even nearly ended his life after being bitten by an insect and a year later he suffered a double-leg break to end his professional playing career. Lewis also faced your listener questions!

Nice one, Jack. Enjoyed this.. even if Lewis' WiFi was a bit wobbly in places!!
Thanks as well for hosting that Rovers watch party on Saturday.. I don't remember the end of it - did we win?

Thanks SG! Yeah it was proper dodgy tbf, lots of work in the edit... some glitches unable to be smoothed over. Very much enjoyed it... I don't think you missed much, just the 8 goals I think! |

What about Ian Atkins - he's just a weirdo mate! Classic Haldane!

What about Ian Atkins - he's just a weirdo mate! Classic Haldane! I used to like Ian Atkins' LinkedIn profile where he bragged about bringing in most of the players that got Bristol Rovers promoted in 2007 - part of him bigging himself up as a football scout. I've just checked again and can't see that mentioned.. although he does refer to his recruiting/developing of Scott Sinclair who was then sold for "significant profit" (which if I recall was set by a tribunal) / |

Probably my favourite interview of the lot so far - Lewis certainly didn’t hold back!
Shame he suffered with a lack of confidence so much during his career. We all saw the player he could be at the Millennium, but sounds like he never had the self-belief to ever replicate that.

Really enjoyed listening to Lewis, what a top bloke and a great sense of humour. Such a sad way that his career ended, but it sounds like he's happy in himself now.
Thanks so much Jack and the Gascast guys for these pods in the last few weeks, they've been brilliant!
