who was your hero when you watched the town as a kid? i think my first "favourite player" was jan the man...which isn't surprising. strangely i don't remember him leaving though, i'm not sure why as i'm sure i must have been aware of it. digby was always a favourite of mine, my cat is living testament to that. i didn't follow town between about 98 and 01 but decent players were few and far between in that period. since then, i think parkin has been the only player that i would have worshipped were i still a wee 'un. i want to know reg's childhood hero  |

Shaun Taylor
I absolutely idolised him and still feel angry that he was sold off to Bristol City by McMahon!
Last year I found a picture of Taylor in my collection and sent it to Forest Green Rovers in the hope he'd sign it.
Needless to say he sent it back, signed with a quality lengthy message at the back!
Legend.
players other than S.T I liked were Fraser Digby, Alan McLoughlin, Nestor Lorenzo, Colin Calderwood and Nicky Summerbee.

Colin Calderwood and Digby, Duncan Shearer before he left us for promotion rivals.

:? I was'nt really a kid when I first started watching Swindon. It was in 2000 and I was 11 so it was the era of grazioli/invincible/sol davis/o halloran/duke etc. At first I thought graz and Danny were incredible I used to think they were great. Then when they left I liked dukey for a bit......but when Sam Parkin joined us he was in a league above all those players to be fair.He was my hero and still is  Which really does not need much explaining because all town fans know what he was like!An absolute legend,a quality player and a genuinely nice bloke who stayed loyal to this club for a long time and loved the fans.He scored some screamers and I used to look forward to watching him every week  I was so gutted when he went. 1.Sam Parkin 2.Invincible 3.Graz |

Dave Mitchell. Especially as he got me free tickets for my first ever town game. Other than him, Calderwood, Digby and Horlock

Peter Coyne from my few matches attended in the mid late 80's.
Then when I started going week in week out in the early 90's it was Colin Calderwood.

John Moncur and his popped collar was a popular figure too.

Fraser Fraser Digby....when I was 6, when I started to go to games I started off thinking his name was Frigby Daser. It's not your everyday name is it.
