I'm not 100% sure but i think a young David Villa played in that game.
It's possible he started at Gijon....how exciting I wonder if anyone can confirm |

No Reg, I understood what you said. I didn't read your post before I wrote mine. I've actually got some old photos of that game and I'm pretty sure it was him in one of them. Hence my first post in this thread. I just checked to see if he did play for Gijon. I will try and scan them and upload them.  |

Ooh exciting....this could add to the list of WC winners who've played at the CG. It's quite a small list. A longer list is players who've appeared in a WC final and played at the CG. |

Banks has deffo played here. Bobby Charlton played for Prestom here as player manager and scored the only goal.
We have also had someone who scored a goal in a World Cup Final but lost play here the year after the final I believe. Any guesses?

My guess would be Dick Nanninga....who along with Jan Jongbloed, played for JC Roda Kerkrade |

That was a brilliant pre season friendly against Roda JC in 79 winning 4-1 against a team full of internationals and that included Chris Kamara hitting the clock at the Stratton Bank with a penalty! |

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.
