with some everlasting memories of STFC.

4-1 down, 6-4 up at Birmingham...and Stuart Hall reporting on it for Radio 5...priceless

Stuart Hall didn't report on it, I think Eleanor Oldroyd did a summary about it at full time.  The worst 20 minutes defending she had ever seen.  Well that's what I remember when we got back on the bus.

That promotion year was the best ever for me, never imagined that'd be it though.  

The shrivvie road days will be my lasting memories.  It's never been the same since all seating came in.  The way we used to rush towards the away fans when we scored brilliant.

Got to remember the stupid little things too.

Gareth 'ginger sicknote' Davies somehow pulling a hamstring when heading the ball.

Dean Gorre (uddersfield) with the best sending off ever for throwing his toys (yellow) then spitting his dummy (second yellow).

Now that was funny, because the ref told him to calm down in the first place, he went away still moaning so the ref called him over and booked him, and then he went back into the centre of the pitch, saw a bit of turf, kicked it...and he was off.

That was our first win in about 20 games.

I really enjoyed the match day announcer getting sacked for slating the ref who sent off McMahon for the second consecutive match, Sarfend IIRC. That, and Graz scoring a super late winner v port vale in what must have been the worst town side I've seen in 17 yrs (relegation to Div II in 2000), at the end of a huge losing streak, when iffy scored after a minute and tony rougier equalised for vale, greta night, we were total rubbish but that win felt so good.

Shit game 3 points. Shit game 3 points.

Danny Invincible's winner against Perterborough, which kept us up.

Any win against the Pox, expecially winning the last game at the shithole (Manor).

Being at Old Trafford along with another 9,000 Town fans, outsinging the plastic Mancunians.

What. A. Day.  Cool

Hardly a classic game but the 3-2 against Sheffield Wednesday is always going to be remembered!

Would have been our 20th loss if we'd been defeated. Our 4th win of the season, previous had been one 2-1 away at palace and a couple of 2-1's at home to Blackburn and Port Vale; both of which had been on midweek evening games.

Charlton away was next. That wasn't a bad away day. Stopped them going on a record undefeated run I believe. That's one hell of a week.

If you've read general discussion today then you'll have seen that just a few hours ago I found the program from the Huddersfield game. Anybody want me to scan in the sexy middle page poster of the Quinnmeister? Or even the single page of the legendary Paul Mcareavey?

92-93 was a great season; both the play-off matches against Tranmere; they got my heart going.

Good old Steve Vickers who helped us with 4 of our 5 goals!!

89-90 is still my fave season though. Stoke away on a hot may day gaining the point we needed for the play-offs in a packed away end at the Victoria Ground.

Beating Blackburn 4-3 on boxing day after being 2 down in 20 minutes; Duncan Shearer scoring the most bizarre goal i've ever seen in that game.

Leeds 3-2 at home was a great game, there were loads.

And going into the play-offs with Newcastle, Sunderland and Blackburn knowing we were the best side and confident we would go up and we did.

Steve Foley's goal (what a goal) at Blackburn in the play-off semi's, and finally my first time seeing Swindon at Wembley in 1990 when we played Sunderland off the park.

Another Invincibile goal I aslways remember is from the game where we beat Rotherham 2-1 at home. Woany put us 1 up with a free-kick, then I think Rotherham equalised before Invincibile took it round three or four players and finished amazingly.

*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.
