"Alan Reeves" is an anagram of "Leaveners", a group of ingredients which make baked good rise - usually through the release of carbon dioxide. The same affect that he'd have on the performance of any side he was in (he'd release carbon dioxide through breathing the same as any other human - FACT)!
Legend.

Big front man Wayne Allison was fondly known by the nickname "Chief", but those who didn't know him as well would call him Wayne.

Instead of cleaning boots, youth team graduate Michael Pook got his place in the first team by rolling Andy King's cigars, on his thighs.

In our 99/00 first round League Cup exit to Leyton Orient, the second leg at Brisbane Road had an attendence recorded of exactly 4000. What a nice round number.

Turbo's brace at Swindon's last ever game at the scum's Manor Ground was a great day out. But does anybody remember the classic misspelling in the OUFC's matchday programme? In the Div2 round up, "Port Vale" had been typo'd as "Pot Vale". Amateurs.

Swindon's 100% record of competative matches against Juventus is the stuff of records. But did you know we've also never lost to Ilkeston Town?

Sam Ricketts' grandfather used to play for the club. I'm not aware of any other grandfather/grandson ex-player duos. But maybe there are others.
