Title: TEF Swindon Town X1 Defenders Vote. Post by: Bedford Red on Saturday, August 6, 2005, 19:00:25 Ok then, Fraser was the winner by miles on the goalkeeper front, unless someone comes on a very late run!
For the defenders I have decided to do the voting a different way. There are too many to put up on one poll and if I do 4 polls there's a chance people can't vote for their 2nd/3rd favourites as they're on the same one. So, listed below are all the defenders I can come up with. If i've missed any then sorry, feel free to add them. I haven't put Charlie Henry on here for example as I am putting him in the strikers section as though he started as a defender I remember him most for the 85-86 season and the Gillingham play off goal. List your favourite 10 defenders in order of ones you like most etc, once all the voting is done I will award 10 points for 1st, 9 for 2nd etc and the 4 players with the most votes will go into the team. This is a long list so here goes (in no particular order of preference) Steve Aizlewood Kevin Baddeley Marlon Broomes Paul Bodin Brian Borrows John Bell Colin Bailie Frank Burrows Joe Butler Colin Calderwood Ian Culverhouse John Cornwell David Cole Jason Drysdale Frederic Darras Gareth Davies Sol Davis David Duke Will Dixon Owen Dawson Gary Elkins Gareth Edds Andy Ford Jon Gittens Andy Gurney Mike Graham Nigel Gray Stan Harland Dave Hockaday Gareth Hall Matthew Heywood Jerel Ifil Steve Jenkins David Kerslake Phil King Nestor Lorenzo Russell Lewis Ken McPherson Keith Morgan Dave Mackay John McLaughlin Alan McDonald Mel Nurse Andy Nicholas Sean O'Hanlon Tim Parkin David Peach Colin Prophett Ron Potter Mark Robinson Alan Reeves Chris Ramsey Paul Roberts Mark Seagraves Kenny Stroud Wilf Shergold John Trollope John Templeman Billy Tucker Rod Thomas Andy Thomson Craig Taylor Shaun Taylor Adrian Viveash Bobby Woodruff Adam Willis Terry Wollen I think that covers most defenders over the past 40 years, gone through the programmes etc. As i said earlier, if I missed anyone just put them in your list.

I checked him out and he played 30 odd games just before my time...never noticed his name before. Think Mick Blick should get a mention fro unstinting loyalty to the STFC shirt.

Glad to see some players before the 90's get a mention. I think this is the first vote Nicky Coleman gets, Chris Ramsey has got a couple of mentions, one of my favourites from that period.

Frank Burrows Mel Nurse Stan Harland Joe Butler Colin Calderwood John Trollope Rod Thomas Paul Bodin Keith Morgan Title: TEF Swindon Town X1 Defenders Vote. Post by: McLovin on Monday, August 8, 2005, 14:42:13 This will show my age...
1. Calderwood 2. Culverhouse 3. Taylor 4. Bodin 5. Trollope (just because he played loads, so i am assuming he was quite handy...) 6. Kerslake 7. Borrows (Brian) 8. Thomas (because i know he was international quality at the time) 9. Heywood 10. Kilcline Title: TEF Swindon Town X1 Defenders Vote. Post by: Bedford Red on Monday, September 5, 2005, 20:24:04 I've been meaning to add this up for ages!
The votes finished as Shaun Taylor 108 Colin Calderwood 102 Paul Bodin 59 David Kerslake 44 John Trollope 41 Frank Burrows 34 Stan Harland 29 Ian Culverhouse 28 Rod Thomas 25 Phil King/Jon Gittens 19 Tim Parkin/Alan Reeves 13 Sean O'Hanlon/David Hockaday 12 Mel Nurse 8 Chris Ramsey/Adrian Viveash/Joe Butler 6 Nestor Lorenzo 5 Kenny Stroud/Brian Borrows 4 Marlon Broomes/Steve Aizlewood/Matty Heywood/Brian Kilcline 2 Keith Morgan/Mark Seagraves/Colin Prophett/Nicky Coleman 1. So Shaun Taylor and Colin Calderwood ran away with it, with Bodin in 3rd and Kerslake in 4th just ahead of Trollope. So with Digby winning the goalie vote by miles the team so far is Digby Bodin Taylor Calderwood Kerslake. I can see a theme somewhere! Title: TEF Swindon Town X1 Defenders Vote.

No idea...but unless you have a degree of objectivity in these things, it renders them a bit pointless. I put Trollope, Thomas and Harland in my top 10. Only ever saw Trollope play, my first game was in 1976 when I was 8 so two late for the other two. I guess a lot of people on here (most probably) are a lot younger than me and are bound to vote for the players they've seen, no way round that really. Title: TEF Swindon Town X1 Defenders Vote.

Title: TEF Swindon Town X1 Defenders Vote. Post by: Bedford Red on Monday, September 5, 2005, 21:29:23 I know, but they still got in the top 4.
And I did say that people could vote wherever they wanted to for players, it was hard enough trying to think of them all without going into it too deep, it's supposed to be a bit of fun!
