So the chat about Zeki Fryers got me thinking about the players who could have been great for us if they either weren't made of balsa wood, or we didn't accidentally break them. I'm thinking Dave Bennett, Keith O'Halloran, Barry Corr...
Who would be in your Top "if only" 11 if they'd been able to maintain their fitness while at STFC?

A bit harsh as he was already a great keeper but Jimmy Allan had his career ruined by the thug Steve Johnson of Rochdale.

Does Brezovan count? He came back from his arm breaks but he was a shadow of the player afterwards.

The Don after he returned from Palace. What a player! Privileged to see him in his pomp.

Was going to mention Gareth Davies, signed by Jimmy Quinn. Less than 30 appearances over 4 seasons.

There is probably an alternate reality where Eddie Howe was signed after an impressive loan spell and going onto to play more than 250 games for the club, before retiring and leading us into the Premier League in consecutive seasons as manager.

I was at the Jimmy Allan game and the Keith O'Halloren match as well as the Dave Bennett games all horrible injuries.
The game vs Bournemouth where KOH got his leg broken by Wade Elliott was the only time that I can remember that Swindon have played a league game at a non league ground (Dorchester during renovation of Dean Court).

Did any other non-league team play at the Withdean stadium or was that solely BHA?
