Title: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: horlock07 on Monday, January 24, 2022, 14:07:03 This is probably a error or something but found myself perusing the always excellent swindon-town-fc.co.uk site and stumbled upon this which suggests that Digby came on as a 75th minute sub for Andy Mutch.
The match caught my eye in the wider stats as it appears to be Digby's only ever appearance off the bench for Town and equally caught my eye as there appears to have been no red card to require him to come on and no suggestion that Hammond came off? Any ideas, I must confess my knowledge of 1994 Anglo Italian games is a bit sketchy? http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19950902 Title: Re: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: Nemo on Monday, January 24, 2022, 14:08:55 It mentions in the description on your link that Digby came on in goal, with Hammond going outfield:
Quote One of the few highlights of the Anglo-Italian Cup (if not on the pitch...), the Town squad enjoy a trip to Venice - where bizarrely, Nicky Hammond comes out of goal to play as a makeshift striker in a 1-0 defeat.

Still seems bloody odd like!

Pretty odd goings on. Title: Re: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: horlock07 on Monday, January 24, 2022, 14:17:50 yeah, and in the video clip, 2:38 :) Just watched the video, Christ that was a blast from the past from Central South with Tim Russon doing the voice over (I went to school with his lad), setting aside the strange keeping substitution shenanigans, why were our keepers wearing tracky b's in Italy in August? Artificial pitch?

Artificial pitch? Or a bone hard surface. Title: Re: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, January 24, 2022, 15:48:28 I thought Venice before i hit the link.
Oh for a trip to Italy, we would take 2-300 im sure. Title: Re: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: singingiiiffy on Monday, January 24, 2022, 15:58:49 didnt we used to have an outfield player that became our goalie?

Title: Re: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: fuzzy on Monday, January 24, 2022, 17:07:10 Dangerous play- if one of us tries it, a defenders foot might get damaged. if one of them tries it, one of our defenders might kick them in the head.

Title: Re: Digby Playing Outfield Post by: Uncletrunx on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, 20:29:29 I saw him play outfield in a Steve McMahon charity friendly.
That was also the time I saw Ian Rush in a Town shirt. |
