I didn't vote for Don although I saw him play many times because I thought he was a shoe-in. I would like to add Roger Smart to the list, greatly underrated IMO.

Absolutely yes, but the march of time means that anyone who saw Don live is now 55 plus. That's a big chunk of the forum who only know of him by legend - and then if you vote for Don, do you vote for Harold Fleming?
That is very fair. It will be excellent to have an up to date take. Perhaps it is time to have a road named after the winner of the TEF poll? We all know Fleming Way but did Harry Morris ever get a road named after him? I included Eoin Doyle in my favourite strikers because, amongst other things, his 11 on the trot feat equalled a 90 year old record I had always presumed would remain unequalled.

Just looking through the ex players list, those that I enjoyed watching, in no particular order Arthur Horsefield, Bobby Barnes, Tommy Jenkins, Dave Bamber, Davis Moss, Peter Downsborough, Micky Hazard, Glen Hoddle, Ray McHale, Ian Millar, Colin Calderwood, Peter Eastoe, Alan Mayes, Roy Carter, Simon Cox, Bryan Williams, Chris Kamara, David Kerslake, Jimmy Quinn and David Peach (only joking ) Rogers was obviously the cream of the crop. Have only ever seen one player with the same speed and smoothness of motion - J J Okoacha late of Bolton !

Last 24 (well, 22 and a bit) hours for nominations - up to 40 names to me via PM by noon tomorrow to count towards the rankings. If you can only think of ten that's totally fine.
I've got a method to include names mentioned in the thread a bit, but a heavy balance towards people who voted via PM.
Then I'll do a countdown between Christmas and New Year.
Get the votes in folks, particularly those whose memories stretch back beyond the 90s!

Just tipped over 150 individuals mentioned at least once in thread & in PM votes. There are a few outliers, but the top 20 or so is pretty stable now. Still time to change that though, lurking Oxford fans - vote for Vigouroux (and I'm not just saying that as I'm the only person who included him so far...)

Have we had Luc Nijholt?
I'm not sure if cult heroes are allowed but if they are I'll add Steve 'Turbo' Robinson.

Surprised there’s no text about Brian Williams on Richard B’s site. I don’t remember him having a beard during his time at Town. He was a famously combative RB signed from Bristol Rovers I think who had thighs like tree trunks and was universally known as Animal.
Merry Christmas TEF.

Animal who in his time with Swindon reminded me of the Yorkshire Ripper in looks with his beard, he started with a 70s pornstar moustache but quickly grew a full beard or visa versa! he had facial hair for his entire Swindon stay. He was always a left back or left winger, hard as nails and absolutely solidly built. Had a fight with Peter Beardsley when the ugly 1 played for Carlisle, basically he thumped the back of Beardsely so hard it echoed all round the ground, he was sent off and Gordon Staniforth waded in to protect PB and was also sent off. One of my all time fave players and he was on my list submitted, as was George N'Dah.
