MAGnets - links to Swindon Town FC

The cup dreams continue, though the league form has a slight stutter.

 

Up next at Meadow Lane is Swindon Town.  Ossie Ardiles, Glenn Hoddle, financial irregularities, Steve McMahon, and John "Pizza-man 'tasche" Gorman all spring to mind.

 

However - what we all want on this thread is player / staff connections between the two clubs.

 

I'll start with Steve Mildenhall - good keeper, but following on quite soon after Cherry and Ward - as two outstanding custodians - he was oft criticised and prone to an odd howler.  I do remember clearly the start of the great escape season, when we seemed to concede 4 goals almost every other game.  (just checked, details were at port vale, home to man citeh, at tranmere, at oldham, home to reading, at bournemouth - all before november!). 

 

So - Mildy; anyone for anymore...

I can give you a blast from the past - 60'sin fact. Eric Weaver.

We got Phil King from Sheff Weds from memory. Think he ended up at Swindon afterwards, did he not?

[pie_in_shanghai]

he had two spells at swindon, either end of his career (god bless rothmans football yearbook :-) ).  we did indeed (surprisingly) loan him from wednesday, the club he spent the lions share of a career.

 

i also seem to remember at the time he was linked with an england cap after pearce's injury / dorigos incompetence / david burrows' decline.  and talking of international fullbacks, only a few months later we got michael "usa94" emenalo :-)
