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.

Talking of Bullocks, Martin Bullock presented me with my League Player of the Season and League Winners Medal awards at a ceremony in North Derbyshire, in the 90s. Think we won the cup that year too. Total contrast to Darren Bullock. Nice bloke, blonde curly hair. Good midfielder as well. Coming full circle, I'm sure he played under Steve McMahon?!  |

Think you’re talking bullocks!
Can’t imagine Darren dishing out anything other than a good kicking.

Before your ref of Martin Bullock the previous posts were referring to Darren - erstwhile footballing hooligan at STFC

On a friendly cricket tour to the Midlands one summer, Darren B "dished out" a brutal boundary barrage. He was not a cultured midfielder by any reckoning and not really a "cricketer" but it dawned on me that day that pro sportsmen are still likely to have a much, much better eye than the keen amateur. Also remember DB getting a yellow for the intimidating way he advanced on a player who'd just fouled him. No hitting, no raised anything just a march with primitively frightening intent  |

McMahon, Bullock & Foley would add a little bite to the midfield😃

Lee Collins.
Can remember him having Georgi Kinkladze in his back pocket in about 1996
I was the first person in Swindon to get his signature. Even before the club did. True story. |

I am aware of that, hence the "Bullock" reference My subsequent contrast was that Martin was a nice bloke. We all know Darren was a bit of a fucker. |

Have we done a brick shithouse XI? Have to be hard, burly and preferably dirty.
Burton (reportedly)
B.Williams - S.Taylor - Kilcline - McCormack
Nijholt - Bullock - MacMahon - Kamara
Shearer - Allison
Sure a couple of those positions could be strengthened, but can't think who right now...

Don’t think Taylor was dirty - just mad ass brave. I’d have Frank Burrows in there. |

Jay Mceveley at LB and move Alan onto the bench as a midfielder.
