I though he may have meant cock rot who was lurking around today? He'll charm the ladies on here no doubt.

Dave Mackay may have been a bit crap in his time at STFC, but he is our only ex manager who's gone on to win the league title, and he memorably had a word with Billy Bremner.

But unfortunately for us he replaced Harland, played shit, then as a manager he was shit, sold The Don and fucked off - all within 12 - 18 months I think. He then resurfaced at Forest, managed Derby and won the League.

Yes, he came to Swindon with a big reputation, talked about what he was going to do & then started to break up the great League Cup & promotion winning team, playing himself instead of Stan Harland & selling Peter Noble to Burnley, Harland to Brum before, treason itself, selling Don Rogers to raise money for team building & almost immediately resigned to take control at Forest. Once there he almost immediately started the 'great I am' routine again with what he was going to do for Forest before he resigned from them to take over a Derby. Very ambitious for himself & much less concerned about the clubs he managed. For selling the Don he deserved to be pilloried & despised, especially as he didn't strengthen the team at all during his tenure at the County Ground

Ask him how does it feel when Swindon fans around the world spit on the ground whenever his name is mentioned.
Ask him how does it feel to be utterly despised by so many decent people.
Ask him if he is going to apologise to the people of Swindon for what he did to Swindon Town football club.
Ask him if it is okay to forget the article and let you interview somebody worthwhile.

Personally if I could be bothered to ask him anything at all I think I'd settle for asking him how selling Don Rogers to Crystal Palace strengthened Swindon Town's attack especially as he spent only a portion of the fee on Jenkins and was that why he legged it to Forest? Not that I'm at all bitter or resentful you understand!

Jenkins v Rogers - let me see. Jenkins could dribble around all the opposition players and keep the ball really well and do - well, fuck all. The Don - legend.
Nice one Dave.
We've had plenrty of cunts at Town but you're name still figures quite highly.

Yes with Rod Thomas as captain and with Cloughie's team. The bigger the fool, the better the luck. |

Jenkins was one of a kind, ran with the ball in all sorts of directions, nobody knew what he was doing or attempting to do. He could never score, and then one home game (Blackpool, I think), he scores from an impossible angle near the corner flag. Even George Best would have had trouble lining that one up. McKay didn't give a crap about Swindon, it took the return of Danny Williams to put together a decent team. Why don't you interview Danny Williams, a true gentleman and a true friend of Swindon Town. |

Mackay was a cunt ....in the same mound as David Peach.
Both did Swindon no good what so ever.
If fact Colin Todd could make the third...!!!

David Peach - now there was a real alky. I went to Lincoln away one year and the back 4 were Colin Barrett, Andy Rollings, Russel Lewis and David Peach. Unbelievably we only conceded 2.
The major surprise with Peach was that he was able to stand. A real waste of talent as at one time he was an excellent player. On the positive side at vleast he didn't give it the Billy Big Bollocks like Mackay did.
And Crozzer is spot on with Danny Williams - a true gent and did great things for Town.
