What's your favourite Swindon F.A. Cup game ever?

[4D]

I did enjoy the Fulham away tie from 2 years ago, a good day out! I also enjoyed the home defeat against Villa in 92. Mainly because it was old school,  a 16k plus crowd, and the banter with the pundits at the end of the match.

I guess Fulham 2 years ago. Can't really say I've seen too many cup classics for us. I vaguely recall Southampton in the 90s. I was quite young though.

January 1967 Swindon 3-1 West Ham. The town take Moore,Hurst and Peters apart after a 3-3 draw at Upton Park.

v Sutton in the early 80's, Howard Pritchard scoring the winner - it was my first ever game.

Apart from that we've been pretty shite the the FAC.

I didnt think the Fulham game a couple of years back was all that to be honest...good turnout, good day on the lash etc, given the amount of town fans there, thought the atmos was average. Much as I hate to say it, check out the rovers fans singing irene at fulham (on youtube obviously), we never reached those heights...

Am struggling to think of an fa cup game that I have really enjoyed that much, (for the record, started going proper in the mid 80s)...league cup is another matter mind....

The 3-3 game would certainly be a contender...but I'll go for a 2-0 win at the old Huish Park, Yeovil in 62. A noted graveyard for league clubs.  Town inspired by the wing play of the youthful Don Rogers, playing only his second first team game.

I loved the FA Cup for a good 30 years from then....but the magic has now gone.  The fact that in recent years we've been truly terrible might have something to do with it.

Yep, a brilliant day out in London, and the total disorganisation for the reply - which was just three days later - at the CG.  I seem to remember us leading at Upton Park, only to go behind and the Don getting the equaliser.  Somewhere in the loft I have still got the programme signed by Kenneth Wolstenholme who was doing the commentary for the reply.

I remember standing on the North Bank at the Boleyn, and there being a massive ruck between these lads, who I later came to realise were called skinheads, and the Town faithful, who were essentially lads from the Railways and Vickers, who could look after themselves.

Recall Hurst scored a hat-trick for them and Bullets Brown got a brace for us, I vaguely thought we went ahead each time and Hurst pegged us back, but was more interested in staying alive so could be wrong.

I would have loved the highlights from Sportsnight With Coleman to be extant....but don't think they are.

Everton in the mid-70s - 2-2 at home (Kenny Stroud equaliser I think) although unlucky to get beat in the replay at Goodison.

Really nasty Tuesday evening at scouse central - bunch of cnuts

Can't remember if this was FA Cup or League Cup, but we stuffed Fulham 5-0 and they had Marsh and Best playing for them.

Did enjoy hammering Juventus 4-0 in the thingummy Italian cup

[cheltred69]

Likewise, the Everton 2-2 with that Stroud goal and the Fulham 5-0 with the old superstars most easily spring to mind. Other games I remember fondly are from one season in the early 70's when we beat Birmingham City with a young Trevor Francis I believe and then my first ever away game at WBA in the next round where we lost but it was a memorable day out.

Missed all the 70's games, wished i had seen them. One of the better FA Cup games i remember was the 3-2 win over Watford in 92. We went 2-0 up in 10 minutes, the 2nd goal was one of the best i've seen at the County Ground with Dave Mitchell (i think) scoring with a diving header following some brilliant play leading up to it. Then Luther Blissett scored 2 for Watford, then Duncan Shearer got the winner past David James with 10 minutes to go.

I also enjoyed the 4th round match at Cambridge that season, they'd already beaten us twice in the league (including 2-0 at the County Ground 2 weeks previous) but we stuffed them 3-0 that day. Calderwood with the first (though he was dazed and i don't think he knew much about it) and Shearer with 2 in the second half.

Wasnt that the game when the Cambridge fans turned on John Beck singing "we want football" as we passed them off the pitch?

Histon away, November 2008. Absolute shite on the pitch, epitomised Malpas' reign.

Cracking away day though.

I think it was, sadly as it's 20 years ago i can't remember for definite. I can't believe it is 20 years ago!!
