It's something they were talking about on TalkSport and I thought it might be an interesting discussion point. So it's just your 4 most important or influential players or managers in STFC  history in your opinion. Not necessarily just the best players we've had, but those people who have had most impact

A bit like Adje's top 5 thread but with a twist.

Danny Williams, Lou Maraci, Glenn Hoddle, Paolo Di Canio

Interesting...Very much depends on your age of course but I will go with...

Don Rogers, Lou Macari, Glenn Hoddle, Jan Aage Fjortoft

Quite a good span of time covered with two players and two managers...

Nigel Eadie, Don Rogers, Glenn Hoddle, PdC

No Shaun Taylor? Regardless of his suitability, I can't think of a more perfect head to be chiseled out of the side of a mountain.

Lou Macari, Ossie Ardiles, John Trollope, Colin Calderwood

You could use his head as the chisel

Jed Mcrory, Callum Rice, Lee Power, Clem Morfuni

I challenge anybody to do a post 2013 mount rushmore for Swindon

Wellens, Doyle, Yates & Grant?

A positive one, I assume? You could do the opposite very easily.

From 2014/15, a "rays of sunshine amongst the gloom" mount (I suggest it's a small mountain in between several sewage treatment facilities)

Michael Doughty
Eoin Doyle/Anthony Grant
Massimo Luongo
Scott Twine/Harry McKirdy

Or possibly Tom Broadbent for *that* goal alone. It's not on the same level as the all time legends group, but it's alright. We made a L1 playoff final and won L2 in that time.

Terry Brady, Bill Power, Lee Power, Jed Mcrory, Clem Morfuni, Zav Austin

Good shout :hmmm: ...probably a toss up between OST and JAF in fairness. Couldn't be more different in their individual styles but equally iconic. How I miss them...

Manager Mount Rushmore
Danny Williams, Lou Macari, Ossie Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle.

Player Mount Rushmore
Harold Fleming, Don Rodgers, John Trollope and Shaun Taylor.

The 1st 3 are obvious, even if none of us saw Fleming play his impact on the club is immense, Don for obvious reasons, Trollope because no player will ever do that for us again and Taylor because he gave EVERYTHING for the club and would probably have died for us on the pitch.

Four Ty Goodens

Venks wins

I don't think Bill Power deserves to be in that group.

Can't Argue with Venks list, but I'd be inclined to include Bert Head in the managers list & Andy Rowland in the players list.

That said, difficult to decide who then drops out

Danny Williams has to be, won our only major trophy.
Glen Hoddle took us to the premier league (and them promptly left, but still)
Ossie Ardiles took us to the first tier as well (demotion not his fault)

Those three are a lock. The fourth is a lot more open. Probably a player that won the league cup. As much as Don Rogers is a strong contender, its Trollope for me as longest ever club servant. Played record number of appearances, won a major trophy and managed us. He is Mr Swindon Town.

Further thoughts to mine and I think our Mount Rushmore could do well with just two players- Harry Toffolo and Nathan Thompson doing their celebrations after THAT Brizzle game.

Actually Bert Head is important too, didn't even think of him.

Justice for Steve Murrall and Anthony ''I don't know'' Fuck Hall

Chris kamara, Bobby Barnes, Steve Jenkins, iris.

PV's is good but Calderwood for Taylor

Steve The Tramp Jenkins! Was in my top 5 cult heroes!

 Sweeney, Navarro, Marwood, Comazzi

Where’s Milan Misun?
