God,
I also remember these wonderful events. Even the speedway when Jan the man Andersson when up to Wembley representing the Robins in the British League riders championship as an outside favourite. Think he was lucky to get 2 points on the night  No
Barry Briggs, Martin Ashby and Bob Kilby were tops for me. But Geoff Bouchard always showed pride for the Robins and not forgetting our Malc Holloway.
Football     
Remember travelling to Hull and freezing my balls off and still the Town lost 3-1
But great memories when on Boxing day going to Poxford and losing 3-0 at half time and coming back to a 3-3 draw.
But the most impressive time was in the mid to late 60 see Swindon beat West Ham in the 3rd round of the FA cup in 67
No one could imagine or even dream to believe the following 5 years. 
So many dreams that came true and many times  you simply had to forget  Pint

Take away the B&W telly (albeit the portable I had in my room was B&W) and the 80's were little different.
