Joey Beauchamp is a legend.

Among several visits to the Manor, two stand out in my memory, but not for the football.
The first season League football was played there, I and 2 mates decided to cycle there for an Easter game against Torquay (1963 I think). We'd got as far as South Marston when a freak snowstorm hit us, but after sheltering under the railway bridge there we carried on. Eventually got to the ground, the only thing I remember about the game is that Ron and Graham Atkinson were playing.
A few years later drove there for a Town game on my first scooter, a crappy NSU Prima with electric start. It broke down just as I got into the city. Thumbed it to the ground, walked back to the outskirts again and thumbed it to Swindon. The bloke who gave me a lift back was Highworth and Wiltshire Football legend Dudley (Cheddar) Cheesley. Some older Townenders may remember him... ?
