And missed that chance which was like all of his goals (running in diagonally into the penalty area) away against Brentford when Vic Callow had sent White and Mitchell off. 0-0, good result 9 v 11 (or should that be 12).

And probably, most of those were 1-0 wins. My favourite 'Bodin scoring the winner with the only goal of the game' was away to Sunderland. It was, in the words of the song, just a perfect day  |

I do think, as stupid as it sounds, Bodin's goals were the most important for Town that year.

Best Town season by an absolute mile, for me anyway, nothing has ever come close - which might be pretty obvious.

Agreed-though the demotion season would have beaten it but for you-know-what.

Look at this..no less than five 1-0 wins where Bodin (a left back lest we forget)... Wolves (H) Sunderland (A) Pompey (H) Posh (H) Luton (H) ...scored the winner That's courtesy of the fantastic http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/ website btw. It should also be remembered that in those days of free flowing football with Hoddle pulling the strings at the sweeper role, most of those results were ground out and were not great games. I remember that Brentford game very well. Bodin was the perverbial whisker away from winning that game for us as well. |

And Sunderland missed two pelanties did they not? Just another day in the transformation of Bodin from being a weak, gawky one footed liability to the Greatest Left Back in History.
Ahh, the magic and romance of Roker....I also recall the ever so brave Mackems pelting the few hundred with coins.

They just missed the one pen, but it was as good as missing two as it was in the 93rd minute. Kevin Ball. I can hear the ball smacking against the advertising boards even now. And it wasn't a penalty. No one even knew what the hell it was given for. Kevin Lynch of Knaresbrough :? |

Crikey! Cox, Paynter, Corr, Sturrock, Ashikodi. Strikers! Arguably, all of these capable of doing some sort of job at least, in this Division. And all signed, not loaned. Is this a record? Please comment.  Still have Mayes and Rowland. |

Defo Brentford as I remember it like it was yesterday, there were some drunk blokes behind us on the terraces who basically used us as something to lean on through out the match.
Didn't go to Watford away but heard Chalky's hat trick on the radio.
