Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Dazzza on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:03:56 Town sides from in the past 5, 10 and 15 years and the reason(s).
Not necessarily looking for the 'best' player or favourites more the man to sort the team out and dig us out of the shithole. Younger and more absent minded posters may confer here... http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/ List answers 1. 2. and 3. Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Nils on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:07:26 1 Glenn Hoddle - His excellent passing would release pressure of of the midfield.
2 Sam Parkin - We keep losing by 1 goal and he is the man that would sort that out. 3 Alan Reeves - Hardly needs an explanation. Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: le god cuervo on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:08:23 luc nijholt
scott leitch alan mcloughlin ...not necessarily favourites (otherwise fjortoft & cuervo would be in there!) but would be ace to have them back. would add some grit & determination to the squad, and experience. Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:11:11 OK.
1. Last 10 years. Kevin Horlock from 1995-96 to sort the midfield out and weigh in with a few goals. 2. Last 15 years. John Gittens from 1990 to sort the defence out. 3. Last 5 years. Sam Parkin - need to say more? Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Tails on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:13:30 Glenn Hoddle. He won games on his own ie Birmingham 4-6 Swindon when we were 4-1 down.
Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Dazzza on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:17:28 1. 5yrs - Parkin. Has to be without a doubt although he never quite hit it off with Rory Fallon up front his revitalised run of form this season would quite possibly see the most dangerous pairing outside of the Premiership.
A worthy 2nd who deserves a mention has to be Keith O’Halloran, he’d have been worth 10 Grunt Smiths in midfield and would have brought some stability and precious goals to the midfield. 2. 10yrs – Culverhouse. Horlock, Ndah all names that cropped up but the man would have to be Ian Culverhouse. Steady as Gibraltar and absolutely ideal given our current line up and particularly with the younger chaps like Jerel at the back. 3. 15yrs – Hoddle. May be drawing the end of his career but with that creativity and spark in midfield there’s not a hope we’d go down. PS no loan players! Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:31:39 5 yrs Parkin - Would score the goals to keep us up
10 yrs - Fjortoft - Type of player you'd want in any Swindon team ever. Shaun Taylor would also be in the running 15 yrs - Colin Calderwood - Would provide the leadership to get us up the table. Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Northern Red on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:37:30 5 yrs - Parkin - goals, goals, goals, goals, goals, goals, goals, goals, goals
10 yrs - Mark Walters - 8, 7, 11 goals from midfield in respective seasons and he'd set them up too. Great set piece player. 15 yrs - Njiholt - hardman midfielder - could've done with him from the start of the season Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: STFC Village on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:39:15 Bobby Howe- Legendary ball skills, bow-to-box runner, workhorse, exactly what we need
Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Northern Red on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:41:15 Get your years right people :?
5 yrs = Aug 2000 - Jul 2005 (5 seasons) 10 yrs = Aug 1995 - Jul 2000 (5 seasons) 15 yrs = Aug 1990 - Jul 1995 (5 seasons) Remember its been 12 seasons since we were in the Premiership :shock: Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Batch on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:48:10 5. Parkin - Class. scroes goals
10. Horlock 15. Taylor/Shearer - Can't decide which. I think I got the dates right? Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from.....

Dazza, I thought about this before reading through what people had chosen, and I went for the same 3 as you. Horlock was running Culverhouse a close 2nd in 10 yrs but I agree with your choices. Great minds think alike. 8) Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, November 21, 2005, 17:56:36 It was a shame what happened to O' Halloran really.Definitely the sort of player we need right now

Great minds think alike. 8) Cracking stuff, I was almost tempted to do the unthinkable and list O'Halloran as number one in the past 5 years but to be fair he didn't show anything like the form of Parkin so I saw sense in the end. Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Spud on Monday, November 21, 2005, 18:47:08 *Parkin
*Hoddle *Ohhh Shaun Taylor Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: red macca on Monday, November 21, 2005, 19:27:21 parkin without a doubt..
kevin horlock this is the hard one. taylor,alan mac,hoddle or shearer too hard to choose from those 4 sorry Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Johno on Monday, November 21, 2005, 22:10:10 i think everyone is pretty much getting the same so im going to throw up some different ones! (if possible!)
1. hard not to say parkin, pretty much carried the team. 2. Mark Walters or Ty Gooden, these players were very good and influential! espically Walters (i would put Horlock, best town player of the last 10 years! and my town favourite obviously!) 3. hard to not say Hoddle! or OHHHHH SHAUN TAYLOR! this is hard actually! Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Tails on Monday, November 21, 2005, 22:11:41 Hoddle left over 12 years ago how can he be in the 10 year bit??

Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, November 21, 2005, 23:28:55 5 years......Tommy Mooney.....everyone else has gone with SSP.....think Fallon is a similar type Mooney offered something else, which is what got us to the PO.
10 years.....Fraser Digby no explanation needed. 15 years......Mickey Hazard.....very nearly a great player, maybe in a different age he could have been.....I'd love to see someone of his quality week in week out again Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: DV on Tuesday, November 22, 2005, 15:13:36 Parkin - Goals
Shaun Taylor - Leader Hoddle - Footballer Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, November 22, 2005, 15:14:24 id like to see Dave Bamber back ... quality!
Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, November 22, 2005, 15:37:29 So hard to pick em from the past:
last 5 yrs - gotta be Parkin, Super Sammy 5-10 yrs - Taylor, Ooh Shaun. (his Leadership edges the goals of Horlock, the pace of Ndah, then again Digby was great!?) 10-15 yrs - Hoddle, Glenn. (Calderwood, Shearer, Hoddle, Buzzer, Chalky, Moncur, Zippy all from this great golden era, but gotta be Hoddle just because he was quality, the most gifted player for the club in recent years if not ever, despite big Dunc being a total hero of mine as a kid) Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: rudeboydreas on Tuesday, November 22, 2005, 17:28:32 5 Lee Holmes or Jimmy Davis
10 Mark Walters 15 Shaun Taylor I'd trade it all for consistency from Ifil though :? Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, November 23, 2005, 04:01:16 Wouldn't it be great to field the following next week !

Good call - and, while he was here, I think he had a good raport with the fans too. I know we all hate him for going to the scum, but I remember quite a few occasions over that season when the noise and singing dropped he walked over and tried to gee us up ... Acknowledging the fans during the game in that way is something footballers should do more. Title: One player you'd like to see in the current side from..... Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, November 23, 2005, 07:54:26 Weren't Ian Culverhose and Mark Robinson ever present in our 95/96 div 2 winning side or am I making thinks up in my head due to my slightly drunk and sleepless brain.
