15. PAUL SMITH
An experienced, battling midfielder, Paul was brought in by Iffy Onuora in an attempt to lift Town out of the relegation zone. With Paul in the side, five out of nine games were won. In nine games when he was out with an ankle injury, Town won just once - and they went down. Any hopes of a contract for the following season evaporated when Onuora was sacked.
Don't remember this guy at all!

Bald slightly overweight, was actually pretty decent. We tried to sign him in the summer but he turned us down for Walsall.

Really good player, exactly what we needed at the time, other than he was obviously injured....played shed loads for the Gills. I'd imagine he'd be in their all time top ten. Had he stayed fit we wouldn't have gone down that season. |

John NHL smiths brother posted about him, his version of how he got scouted and the 'snowplow game' on here a year or three ago.
Think it's somewhere in the NHL thread. Can't check now.

One of the few highlights of that season and we'd been crying out for a player like him for a good few years prior to that. And probably now too... |

Danny Hollands is exactly that type of player and looks like hes available on a free too as he is out of contract at Charlton. |

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.

Didn't Paul Smith score a wonder goal? Not sure but think it was a 40 yard free kick

There was only one Smith for town aand that was the great roly poly John who was a midfield maestro who should have stayed at a higher level but for his love of a tipple or two! My hero that cup winning season.
