SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, June 2, 2006, 09:22:53 I'm surprised no one's mentioned Bodin who fucked up Wales' chances of qualifying for the '94 World Cup good and proper by missing a penalty against some one or other.

Ernie was Swindon boy....Rideout, despite growing up in Swindon wasn't born here.

Title: Swindon players who have gone on to great things Post by: kaufman on Friday, June 2, 2006, 09:56:31 true but that was not the question was it? :wink:
but you are right that as a local lad nobody seems to have done more. maybe dean ashton could go on to play for england but different websites sites different places.

Perhaps the question should have been which Swindon Town players. Barlow was definitely a Swindon lad as he played local league football. Title: Swindon players who have gone on to great things Post by: genf_stfc on Friday, June 2, 2006, 10:08:24 I quite rate Dean Ashton, but never knew he was born in Swindon ! Another one we let through our fingers for a pittance no doubt...

Either way...ihe was brought up around Crewe. Title: Swindon players who have gone on to great things Post by: OOH!

Because a couple of sites say he was born in Swindon, people then assume he was playing youth football in Swindon and somehow we failed to notice.

Just found it interesting really.
