Swindon Town is the only football league club that does not contain any letters from the word 'mackerel'.
Hake and Perch too. |

When on holiday Alan Reeves once got mistaken for his twin brother David.
The crazy mix up literally took minutes to resolve

Sam Ricketts' grandfather used to play for the club. I'm not aware of any other grandfather/grandson ex-player duos. But maybe there are others.
My Great Great Uncle Jimmy played for Swindon and scored in his only 1st team game against Ilford in 1895. My Great Great Grandfather was a lay preacher at Christ Church in Old Town between 1875 and 1885 along with William Baker Pitt, as far as I know he had no input in the creation of the football club in 1879. |

A few things that I've picked up over the years...
Michael Pook is quite big on the English Civil War reanactment scene and excels as Thomas Fairfax.
Miles Storey calculates distances in kilometres and kilometres only.
Ollie Lancashire doesn't know which county Blackburn is in.
Bart Griemink is a limo driver.
Taylor Curran spent the summer of 2017 writing lyrics for the Spanish National Anthem.

I heard that STFC is by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. I am not sure this has been objectively verified.

That much is axiomatic. |

Isn't that one of those variable speed gearboxes in Citroens?  |

My parents used to live next door to Martin Ling when he was a player and my mate bought Dave Hockadays house. Also Colin Calderwood, Fitzroy Simpson and Duncan Shearer lived on the same estate as me and I worked with Chris Kameras wife when I left school😀

Surely a lot better than being an untrained lion trainer? |
