Title: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: bobby on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 09:38:27 While i was away on holiday i met a fellow Town fan and we had a debate on who has been Towns best player of the 21st century (Excluding Loans). Mine was Simon Cox on the not only what he done for Town but for what he has gone on to achieve. For what its worth Sam Parking was my favourite player. This then got us thinking on what Town players in the 21st Century has gone on to play in the Premiership. Excluding Loans and players who have previously played in the top league I could think of only two, Simon Cox and Sean Morrison who has gone on to play in the top flight I know players such as Ben Tozer and Lukas Jutkiewicz went to Premiership clubs but i dont think they played. Are there are anymore who has gone on to play in the Premiership?
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 09:45:12 According to wikipedia, Jutkiewicz played one game for Everton in the prem and has been at Championship level ever since. Carayol and Austin will probably both make it soonish.

Best player of the 21st Century...Yaser Kasim Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: china red on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 10:39:31 Mine is Parkin, loved watching him play, shame he got injured at Ipswich and has been a bit crap since.
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: DiV on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 11:28:17 Anthony McNamee played for Norwich in the Prem after he left us. Don't think he did. They binned him off pretty quickly after promotion. Parkin and Cox are both worth a shout. Iffy had a decent record for us but his last game was 28th December 99. Miglioranzi was a classy player. Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 11:36:48 Miglioranzi was a classy player. My favourite of the past 10 years. I just wish he had been indestructible.Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: DiV on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 11:38:42 If he had been, he probably wouldn't have found himself here in the first place...
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 11:43:44 Yeah, his career would've had a lot less ups and downs if he'd stayed at Pompey. Oh, wait...
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: Arriba on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 12:29:42 Parkin for me.
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: PetsWinPrizes on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 15:05:16 Much as I loved Migz and indeed Parkin, has to be Cox.
Though give it a few more weeks and it will probably be Yaser! Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: DMR on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 15:07:18 Cox was the better player, but I loved SSP more.
Call it a draw. Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 15:20:37 Don't think he did. They binned him off pretty quickly after promotion. You're right, he played about 7 games for Watford in the Prem before he joined us though. Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: DiV on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 16:19:01 Parkin wins for longevity really.
Very rare a player as good as Parkin stays here (or most other 3rd tier clubs) for 3 seasons. None of his 'successors' have... Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 16:21:07 If Carayol plays in the Prem then there is hope for us all.
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 16:22:22 According to Richard Banyard's site the best player is Oliver Risser...folowed closely by Jonathan Smith
Title: Re: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: herthab on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 17:45:01 Gotta be Ricky Shakes. He had all the moves (unfortunately not on the football field though).
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 18:00:23 Simon Cox by far, Jamie Vincent a distant second.
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 20:41:25 Seeing Parkin spelt "Parking" has made me feel slightly ill
Title: Re: Swindon Town players of the 21st Century Post by: leefer on Thursday, September 12, 2013, 20:48:55 Years back it was Paul Rideout....should have played for England at full level i reckon...real quality.
Ok i know that in reality that was the 20th century! Recent years it has to be Austin for me,from non league...proper non league he was awesome for us and has a real chance to go on and play regular Prem football in the coming years. |
