Title: Hall of Fame Post by: Power to people on Sunday, January 1, 2012, 19:02:54 I think this deserves a thread of it's own... John Trollope, Don Rogers & Paul Bodin all entered in hasll of fame previously There was a list read out on RS of the others entered and about a way fan's can vote for the final few places., anyone know where these details are as it seems that again stfc haven't put it on their website which I think is a bit of a poor show Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Batch on Sunday, January 1, 2012, 19:23:03 I thought those three were doing the picking, not the fans?
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: [email protected] on Sunday, January 1, 2012, 19:34:02 I missed the program (gonna catch it on iplayer) but it was something like 55 other players were named, and fans will have the choice to pick 2 from a short list of 10 to bring the final total to 60.
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Summerof69 on Monday, January 2, 2012, 20:52:21 58 players are named in today's programme, with Fjortoft being the last.
I would hope Coxy and SSP will be added to that last.

Any chance of listing the 58 be interesting to know who they are - does not seem to be listed anywhere Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, January 3, 2012, 13:23:08 Archie Brown.

Or a list of people to be voted on joining it?
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, January 3, 2012, 14:05:35 So is that a lift of who is in it? Or a list of people to be voted on joining it? The current list of members of the hall of fame, as seen in Monday's match programme. Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, January 3, 2012, 14:08:56 Some decent thought gone into that, was half expecting it to be a few from 69 and then 1990 onwards.
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 09:11:16 58 players are named in today's programme, with Fjortoft being the last. I could see Parkin being a contender, but Cox only played about half as many games for us. Dave Bamber would have a better shout (although more likely a Blackpool legend than a Swindon one), but I note that Chris Kamara is not on there - 2 x spells of over 200 appearances has to count for something? Also, does a couple of spells at the Town, commentary for the local station and running a pub in the town put Phil King in contention - or has his recent court case scuppered his chances?I would hope Coxy and SSP will be added to that last.

How about Paul Rideout rather than Cox? Similar record but Rideout was the youngest ever Swindon player, and a stand-out player in a crap team (plus he showed some loyalty) Parkin should be in there without question. Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 09:43:30 Concerning Cox, Parkin etc., I made a point in another thread a few weeks ago about players who put a shift in but, ultimately, did not contribute to much in the way of success for the club. For me, the point still stands.
Unless you're going to admit scores of players to the Hall of Fame, which would devalue the exercise, I would personally set a criterion that the player must have contributed to a successful event (promotion, trophy win) or period in the club's history. In 20 years from now, I'm sure Cox and Parkin will still be remembered fondly by those of us old enough - but the younger generation would probably ask what exactly did these players achieve for the club? For that reason, I'm not sure you can put them in the same bracket as Harold Fleming (FA Cup semi-finalist), Don Rogers (League Cup winner/deity) or Shaun Taylor (captained us Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: adje on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 09:43:56 No Jon Gittens or David Kerslake,Tom Jones,Ross MacLaren,Steve Foley?Craig Maskell,Martin Ling.
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 10:05:50 Concerning Cox, Parkin etc., I made a point in another thread a few weeks ago about players who put a shift in but, ultimately, did not contribute to much in the way of success for the club. For me, the point still stands. You could argue quite strongly that it was only cox's goals that kept us up the other season. Whether surviving in league one can be seen as a success is another matter though Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 13:00:50 Maybe we should create an alternative Hall of Shame:
I'll start.... Lawrie Sanchez Steve McMahon Ross McLaren Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 13:42:40 Lukas Magera
Oliver Risser Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 13:55:27 Nowhere near the worst players in our current squad, let alone "of all time"
I think to be in a Hall of Shame you need to excel in either shiteness or wankerdom, ideally both, otherwise we're going to have loads of players who were just out of their depth/not very good. May I propose Messrs Rose and Hutchinson from recent years. But yes, a nice TEF Hall of Shame sounds good. Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: RJack on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 14:06:39 Terry Fenwick
Dean Hooper Jason Drysdale Jon Sheffield David Peach Gary Elkins Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Phil_S on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 14:08:33 has to include Joey Beauchump
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: DV on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 14:14:14 STFC Cunt of the Year 2011 - Paul Hart.
Title: Re: Hall of Fame Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 14:15:02 Think we should take this to another thread? Could go on and on!
