Beating West Ham 1-0 away with a deflected Maskell free kick in the last minute, getting chased on the way out  Cheesy

Winning 4-0 away at Shitty and when Chalkie was interviewed after the game by Roger Malone, all you could hear was us singing "we all agree, roger malone is a wanker" and Chalkie trying desperately not to laugh.

Losing 3-0 away to QPR in FA Cup, live on Monday night football. Remember the Sky Sports Strikers? The look on their faces when then music was drowned out by a chorus of "Who are Yer?!" was priceless, then at half time all you could hear through the coverage was us singing "Richard Keys is a homosexual"

Both Wembley performances, fuck we had good team in 90.

Beating Rovers 4-1 at Twerton Park - Ooooh Shaun Taylor, all my raving mates at the time were Rovers fans  Cool

Finally Tranmere away in the play offs, pitch invasion, shirt swapping, aceness.

On my dads shoulders at Old Trafford and Thorney scored an overhead kick at our end.

Fucking mental.

Winding up Tim Sills at Hereford last year was ace.

Invincibles goal against Peterborough. I was a ball boy behind the goal he scored it in, we weren't allowed to celebrate but all of us went absolutely nuts. We'd all been moved to the Stratton Bank because it was too dangerous to be infront of any other stand!

Ifils header against Walsall, and the pitch invasions later on.

Turbo double at the Manor.

Promotion at Blackpool in 96. I was only 8 but remember it really well, great day.

A few weeks after at home to Stockport, we were already champions and it was dull 0-0, the CG was packed..then at the end of the game our commentator said "Stockport fans.. You did not make the playoffs" to a huge wahey from all the Town fans.

Gurneys free kick at Leeds, and Parkins goal later. Absolutely superb goals both of them.

Frank Talia winning us the game away at Charlton. They were top and on one of the biggest undefeated runs in history, we were bottom and utter shite. Before the game they interviewed Kevin Lisbie (I think) on Soccer AM, and he said how easy it would be. Everyone wrote us off, and Talia produced what has to be one of the best goalkeeping performances ever, certainly the best he's ever done to keep them at bay and we won 1-0.

As above, Brezovans debut at Hartlepool. Unbelievable.

Being top of the old Division 1 (old old Division 2!) after beating Portsmouth 1-0 at Fratton Park. My brother lived with a huge Pompey fan and it was ace   We wore green socks and Steve Mildenhall had stitches in his testicles at half time. Shame we messed up that season so much because we were up and around the top for quite a while at the start of the season.

Losing 7-1 at Forest, but the hardcore of our fans staying and singing til the end. Despite the crapness of our team our fans were fucking superb and I've never seen anything like it.

WE ARE STURROCKS RED AND WHITE ARMY! Between the Bank and The Town End... Awesome.

God there's too many, and I've only been a supporter for 12 odd years!

Quote from: "Spud"
*Any Mark Walters long range goal, always happened to be in the top corner.
*Some Legend in Shrivvy Road punching Mark Hughes Vs. Man Utd.
*Danny Invincible Vs. Peterborough
*Ian Wright's brilliant lob over Fraser Digby which was goal of the month on MOTD, not a Swindon moment but a piece of briliance that you had to clap.
*Going mental when Parkin put us 2-0 up Vs. Leeds in the Carling Cup, just a shame Robinson scored the equaliser.
*Teeeeeeeeeeea Towel
*1993 play off final Vs. Leicester City.

I'll add more as i think of them.

 Sad


That was me and my mate did'nt punch him, some young kid tapped him on the back of the head as he bent down to pick the ball up for a throw in, he stood up and lurched towards us and I simply just gobbed in his face(Im not proud of it Cheesy ) he went fucking mental. Happy Days

The FA cup match at home to Villa, it was played on match of the although, of course, I went to the match rather than just watching it on TV.

I remember us outplaying villa for much of the game, and I forget the scorers, excpet for Steve Froggatt's scorcher of a winner. A great match all in all really.

When I watched the highlights later that day you could hear stuff being thrown up at the make-shift studio over Stratton Bank, and the town fans giving it large to Bob Wilson "Where were you in 69?"

AWESOME

Beating Birmingham 6-4 under Hoddle.

Both Wembley playoff finals.

Beating Arsenal and Wolves, both top teams at the time in 79-80 league cup quarters and semis.

Almost going to Spurs and winning in the FA cup the same season.

Beating Fulham 5-0 in 75-76 with Best Moore Mullery et al playing against us.

Beating Bury 8-0 28 years ago today!

Far far too many great days to list, and shed loads of crap days too...Newport away in 81 Sad etc.

Fallon's overhead kick to score against Brizzle Rovers - one of the most beautiful pieces of football I've seen at the CG.

On the pitch after Danny's goal against Peterborough, and again after Walsall last season.

Happy happy days.  Smiley
