Remember watching David Platt playing for Crewe against us in the 80s.
Platty played 3 times against us for Crewe in the mid 80s and scored once too, fellow future England midfielder Geoff Thomas also scored that game.
Thomas went on to score twice more against us, once for Barnsley and once for Palace in 12 games and only once ever was on a losing team against us, and that was when he was at Crewe. Platt only played twice more against us after leaving Crewe and failed to score against us again for Villa and then Forest.
They also launched the careers of Robbie Savage who played against us twice for them.
Dele Adebola who played 9 times against Swindon.
Future England midfielder Danny Murphy who played 3 times against us.
England cap Seth Johnson, also a midfielder.
Jamaican international Clayton Donaldson.
Wales international midfilder David Vaughan.
Swindon born England international striker Dean Ashton.
Eire international Paul Tierney, albeit he was only on loan there.
All of whom played vs Swindon while at Crewe.
