Your most memorable match....

[THE FLASH]

I cant remember!

[BrightonRed]

Any chance you might expand on that??

The police part isn't really football related.
Ended up watching the match at home as I couldn't get a ticket. Had the tv going through the stereo at full volume so it was fucking loud. About 10mins after the end of the match my housemate's Spanish girlfriend found some texts on his phone that she didn't much appreciate. Being Spanish she started beating the shit out of him with anything that came to hand (mainly her stiletto).. the fight spilled out onto the street and then calmed down a bit and everyone moved back inside. 30mins later the door was knocked and I went to answer. I could see they were coppers through the front door window and assumed they'd come because of the (football) noise.. I prepared my apology in my head and answered the door.. the copper bundled me back through the door and pinned me face first to the wall by back of the head and began arresting me for domestic violence. Took them a while to believe it wasn't me. Took them even longer to believe that it was the girlfriend who was being violent. In the end the WPC consoled her and they all left. Obviously no fucking apology was forthcoming. Wankers.

Apart from 4 - 3 at Wembley;

2- 4 away at Oxford (1990). We were two nil down after 5 mins, but the Town came back to win! Amazing away support that day - a real crush getting out down that lane at the end (what was the name of the lane behind the away end at Ox?)....
Vid highlights for those who are interested!


Watford away in 1993 when we won 4 - 0 was great too. We outsung the home crowd for entire 90 mins!

At CG, I loved the early 90's games v Leicester. There was a real edge to those games. My fav was when we had to win to avoid relegation. Fraser Digby saved a penalty and we won 5-3 I think. I was in the Shrivenham Road and the atmosphere was wicked! Great days....

When was that game when we beat the Scum of the Pox variety in the nid 90's. Memorable cos the crowd managed to wind Beauchump up to the extent that he got himself sent off.

Other memories are beating Fulham 5-0 (or 5-1) complete with Bobby moore, Marsh, Best et al, Winning at Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in the early 70's when I went mental at our first goal only to realise I was in the home end & of course the win other Leicester at wembley, & the home game against Sunderland in that season when I was stood on the Stratton Bank, in line with hoddles magnificent goal

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Eh?? I certainly remember a game were crowd and players combined magnificently to wind Beauchamp up like I have never seen before or since. McMahon was manager and Horlock scored in a 1-0 win. I have no recollection of a sending off though. I even watched it on You Tube recently. I do forget things though so it's possible I'm wrong.

Great day that and a mental atmosphere from us. I used to love that away terrace at Watford, the accoustics were fucking lovely, always made loads of noise.

I have obviously scrambled my memories for the best result. I can clearly see him being sent off in my minds eye, but can't find any stats to confirm it ! So I'll just keep that pleasant thought to myself !

It was hugely funny the way Bumchump, was roughed up by Gary Elkins, watching the vid clip, you don't see it....Elkins of course had been schooled in the dark arts at Wimbledon.

My Bulgarian ladyfriend informs me that Joe Beauchamp fairly accurately translates to gay love in Bulgarian.

Phil,

Wingebag got subbed in that game. Got to say, it was one of the best ref displays ever by Gurnam Singh, who virtually let the Swindon players 'stick the boot in', and he just played on.

Yeah and the walk through the allotments,which were always in better nick than the pitch.

[Lumps]

Oddly the game that really sticks in my mind is one that I didn't even go to, but watched on TV. Not only that but it was a 0-0 draw.

Sunday game away to Newcastle during the 92/93 season Hoddle's side against Keegan's.

Kerslake and Hazard were fucking brilliant.

Easily the best scoreless draw I've ever seen.

[Oaksey Moonraker]

It will probably be the 6-4 game at Birmingham and remember turning to my mate at 4-1 thinking get a goal and we might get get something. Shaun Taylor sealed legend status in that game by going off with a cut head, we go 2-0 down and he comes on and heads a goal to bring it back to 2-1. Hoddle and Hazard took complete charge of the game from 4-1 and we destroyed them.

Other memorable ones will be the Gillingham play off games, Blackburn play off away, Liverpool away in the Premiership and the 3-1 win at QPR at our last Premier League game. Must have been one of the best relegation parties ever and seeing Swindon fans carrying a black homemade coffin down Sheppards Bush High Street live long in the memory and a National Newspaper report on the Monday making reference to the amount of cider we must have consumed.

Think the two Leeds games this season will live long in the memory and for a memorable single moment it might well be Danny Invincibile's injury time winner against Posh to keep us up in 2001

[Bob's Orange]

2 people have mentioned that QPR was our last Premier League game, I always thought it was the 0-5 defeat at home to Leeds which brought up our 100 goals conceded?

You are correct sir. Perhaps they meant either 'away game' , or 'win'
