It has to be 1979 when swindon drew at Highbury in front of 8000 Town fans massed behing the goal at the clock end. Who can forget the moment when Billy Tucker headed home the equaliser after 84 minutes sending the masses dressed in donkey jackets & Dr Martins wild. Then after the final whistle trying to find our coach amongst the 90+ we counted which came from all over wilshire A week later things got even better as we won the replay against Pat Jennings, Liam Brady, Frank Stapleton and more 4-3 aet
Brilliant!!!!

I think this could just shade it for me ad well and I love the reference to the DM's and Donkey Jackets.
The day started off by bunking off school early and catching the train to Paddington from Didcot. The tubes were jammed with Swindon fans and Highbury was not expecting the numbers.
One nil down to an Alan Sunderland penalty but "Windy" Miller was giving Sammy Nelson a torrid time on the wing. Corner in the clock end 85th minute and big Billy Tucker rose above a static defence to power home a header.
All went suddenly black as I was piled amongst many bodies with my 8 hole brown DM's intact.😄
Never will forget that moment for sure and can still see it.
To me that was a special moment but Andy Andy Rowland scored that special goal in extra time to put us into the semi final.
I used to love the games against Gilliscum in those days.
Catching the train was always lively as you can imagine. The 3-1 Gills came 100 Swindon skins came running at us near the old bus station shouting .... I thought we were dead but then they were shouting at us to help them turn a mini bus over on its side.....as it went over we carried on to the station unscathed.
Those days were rather different.
