Best loanee we ever had was the late Jimmy Davis. I seem to remember him picking up the ball on the halfway line & going all the way to score a goal once (not sure if it actually happened mind). I'm certain he would have been better for england than wayne rooney ever was or will be

Think you're referring to the goal he scored at Brentford - where we lost 3-1. http://swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=20030105 |

Sorry but I can't agree with that, yes Jimmy was a good player but sometimes we let our emotions rule our memory, he suddenly became a better player after his death than he actually was before it. Thats not being disrespectful to his memory but he was just a good loanee, Thompson was at least as good in his spell with us, Carrick also pretty good, as was Reddy. But none of those could compare with Nicky Coleman, James Milner, Tim Flowers or Shay Given and for that matter even Chris Ramsey (initially a loan). |

I agree with you. Jimmy was a good player, but I don't think he was as good as the legend. Danny Ward was also of a very high calibre and is up there with Milner in my opinion. |

Yeah I agree, I had forgotten Wardy, he was better too. |

Even though he only played a couple of games will always have a soft spot for Tony Grant as far as loanees go.

That game against Port Vale when he ran underneath the bounce of the ball sticks firmly in my memory. |
