Rumour used to be that the only reason Bobby Smith signed Peach, was because he fancied his missus.

In Bobby Smiths day they were all at it. I heard he was shagging one of the directors wives. Tranter was at it with McHales wife and McHale was at it with someone who still gets a mention in the Adver occasionally. I think the fact that Peach was an alcoholic when he signed didn't help either. He was complete crap for us.

Worse signing i can remember....David Peach from Southampton,cost us 100,000 thousand in the 70s.......was injured when he joined us i believe and i didnt see him play one good game for us.
Wasn't it 150,000? |

DANNY Wilson will target at least two defenders in the transfer window as he looks to “stem the flow” of goals against and boost Town up the League One table.
While Swindon have had no problems finding the back of the net at one end of the pitch, only Cheltenham and Crewe have conceded more than Town’s 42.
Wilson admits it is one of the reasons why his new side are hovering nervously above the relegation zone, and has already made enquiries as he looks to get fresh faces in before Stockport come to town in seven days’ time.
“I think the spark of bringing somebody in gives everyone a lift and that’s what we are intending to do,” revealed Swindon’s new manager.
“We’ve got a list of players and targets, and it will be the early part of next week when we sit down with the chairman and bounce a few things off each other.
“The wheels are in motion in one respect because we have already made the initial enquiries about the players to see their availability.
“We managers are very greedy and we are never satisfied, so the more the merrier, but the minimum we would look for is two or three.
“Whatever comes after that, we’ll have to wait and see.
“To concede 42 goals at this stage of the season is not ideal, and if you are doing that then you find yourself in the position that we are.
“You have to make sure you start stemming that flow, at the back in particular.
“We’re going to tighten up at the back and hopefully give ourselves a better chance of winning games.”
Wilson also admitted that he would be willing to release some of his fringe players, but as yet there has been no interest.
“We’ve had no phone calls yet about anybody, and we will only address it when that comes,” he said.
“The squad is important to us, particularly with the position we find ourselves in, but I think if players are not getting games then the opportunity may arise for one or two to go out on loan.” From the adver, looks like we're chasing defenders. I'm guessing a left back is the priority. |

No interest in Swindon fringe players, you would think a few non-league clubs would be queing up for the likes of Sturrock, Pook, Marsahll and Casal, even if only on loan.

I still feel sorry for Marshall. He was desperate to come here. Something that most players aren't...

I thought Marshall looked ok in a coming off the bench role. a bit greedy but desperate to impress. Good enough for L1? Not likely in a starting role. Would loved Marshall to do well though.

Can't say. But it is 100% genuine. (Yeah, yeah. I know you think I'm spouting the usual bollocks). |

Thats insane (I'm not saying I doubt you by the way) but if true, a tad ambitious and doubt will come off!
