Pretty poorly written all in all but this stood out: Luongo is only the third player in Swindon's history to represent an international side after Jan Aage Fjortoft (Norway) and Alan McLoughlin (Republic of Ireland). Eh? |

I think he meant 'to represent an international side at the World Cup', as we've certainly had more international players than that.

This line makes the article unworthy of reading.... Did you know?
Luongo is only the third player in Swindon's history to represent an international side after Jan Aage Fjortoft (Norway) and Alan McLoughlin (Republic of Ireland)
Fuck me we had 3 players involved in the planet's oldest international fixture over a 100 years ago.... |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Well as a journalist he might try to express himself correctly then. And alumnus, it's alumnus. |

If you're a journo, and can't get a most basic thing correct, then it renders your viewpoint worthless in my opinion. |

Yeah, I have zero tolerance for people who misspell the simplest things.  |

Ricky Shakes might have managed it, if only Carlos Edwards wasn't much, much better than him.

I took it as playing for their country during their time as a Swindon player. Otherwise you could throw Ardiles, Hoddle and a few more in there as well. |
