Also signed by whole squad from 2006/07 promotion season and Paul Sturrock

A Xmas card that I got when in Australia that my Dad got signed by the whole squad at the time.

A signed framed Swindon shirt from the 95/96 Championship winning side, signed by all the players and coaching staff and presented to me live on Swindon Cables Xmas 95 show on the 22nd December 95.

A signed framed 15x10 limited edition team photograph from the same season.

A signed Swindon Town football signed as above!

A signed football from the 69 season signed by all the team given to me for fixing Joe Butlers PC 3 years ago.

I've got a signed 86 crewe programme, signed 93 squad photo, and a 2003 signed football, and have come to the conclusion after looking over the signatures that footballers cant write very well.

I don't need possessions to remind me of the club because I'm a better fan than you.

I'd say the few shares I own. It means I can go to AGMs and berate the board members in a silly high pitched voice. I miss doing that behind the Arkells stand.

a signed authenticated Lou Macari poo

steve jenkins signed shirt. i loved that gyppo.

A signed ball from about 1997, with Iffy Onuora, Chris Hay, Mark Walters, Alan Reeeeeves etc

Not exactly our greatest ever side but it's the Swindon team I started supporting

A signed ball which was kicked into the Arkells by Paul Bodin the year we gained promotion to the Premiership ... got all the players on there including Hoddle and Gorman - I was lucky enough to catch it that day

A match programme for every game I have ever been to.  My own personal STFC diary, currently spanning 18 years.  (Regretfully, this meant parting with cash in the certain knowledge it was going to Diamandis, until recently.)

97/98 was the side which were near the top at Christmas before royally fucking it up weren't they? Although the away day at QPR with Iffy's debut and Alan McDonald going in goal was fucking mint.

From '97 you say? surely Iffy didn't sign until around February 98. Unless I'm getting my seasons mixed up, which is very likely.

An invitation to the Celebratory dinner in 1969, signed by the whole squad and signed ball from the 1992-93 playoff winning squad

I wouldn't say they fucked it up. It was more a case of the league table being ridiculously flattering. We never looked remotely like a top of the table side IMO. Yes of course we won a few games but we never looked terribly convincing. That's how I remember it anyway.

Have you actually written notes on all the games you've been to?

Sits in the corner of the living room quite contented.  Every now and again I'll lay a few old cones out around the place to keep him happy.

Mike Diamandis' head on a stick.

Would have to be the 1992/93 season video.

 I used to have a cardboard cut out of Steve McMahon, as my opinion of McMahon dropped , he was consigned to behind the wardrobe at the top of the stairs....after watching final score one Sat and confirming we'd lost heavily to some norvern monkeys, I heard a crash in the hall.  On inspection Steve had somehow fell from his spot and bounced down the stairs....well spooky...he had to go.

I was a mascot when I was little and have a Swindon football signed by the current squad at the time i.e Hoddle, Shaun Taylor, Dave Mitchell, Micky Hazard, Bodin, Calderwood etc.

I was quite young at the time and probably got caught up in the excitement a bit, so you're probably right. We had a few good results though, and Chris Hay was banging the goals in before we got rid of Wayne Allison and there were injuries and stuff.

we had one of those too - my dads mate worked for Burmah and he gave it too us - we used to to hang hats and scarfs and things on - I cant remember what happened to him - I have vague memorys of it being at Goatacre cricket club???

I have the old brass plaque that says "Directors Box Seats" from the recent upgrade of the Directors area. My brother was donig some carpentry work there and managed to nab it for me.

i keep seeing your bro about there jayo.


my best bit would probably be the signed football from 92/93 i think, might be 93/94 (i cant remember, its somewhere safe, where i've forgotten where it is) my parents bought it for me at an auction in lyneham iirc. no idea how much it cost!

I dont own anything...

Im such a rubbish supporter

2008/09 Season ticket.

Come on you reds!

I have a Framed signed shirt the Mrs got me for a wedding present,  it has our names and the date we got marrieed on the back and it was signed by the whole of the squad at the time

I've also got a signed Ball what I won once, I think it was in the Hoddle era

wow do you get presents for getting married??

signed 1969 cup final program

Napoli , As Roma and Juventus programmes (As Roma is signed by both sides including Capello). Grandads scarf from 69 cup final.

Mine would have to be my programme our FA cup match at home against swindon on 08-12-2002, which we won 1-0 live on national television to set up a 3rd round tie at Highbury.

I think I may have chucked my one from 10-03-2001 in the bin, when we lost 2-0 at the Manor. Pelted Mildenhall with coins. And the one where that cunt Gary Alexander scored and blew a kiss to the London Road.

Despite the blowing kisses thing, I also think Gary alexander was a cunt. And shit.

No!

Oh never mind then, I was thinking "dear diary saw that suttonred/pwp/leroy.... you get the drift, pissed at football again, why do they bother going" type thing.  Maybe it's time you did? It would help a lot of us out.

What he said.

i own several pairs of youth team players soiled pants which i treasure

Ha ha ha!!!

its probably true though
