2 Spurs fans setting a hot dog stand on fire.
3 Millwall fans with a massive drum on the bank.
4 Pompey fans running across the pitch towards the Townend.
5 A few thousand Villa fans outside the shrivenham road stand trying to force entry during the game.

5 epic performances followed by ultimate heartbreak -

1979 - 4-3 home league cup quarter final win against Arsenal with Andy Rowlands winner in extra time. Lose against Wolves in the semi-final 4-3 on aggregate not helped by an appalling foul on goalkeeper Jimmy Allan.

2010 - Play off semi final win at Charlton 5-4 on pens after Gordon Greers sending off. Danny Wards iconic equaliser (on aggregate) and Stephen Darby with the winning penalty. Lose the final against Millwall with Charlie Austins bobble being the crucial moment.

1979 - 2-1 away win against Brentford in May 1979 with goals from Alan Mayes and Ian Miller to continue our hope of promotion from Division 3. I will never forget the scenes in the away end from the hordes of Town fans when Mayes scored. Lost our last 2 away games at Sheff Weds & Blackpool to end the dream and we ultimately finish 5th.

2015 - Still probably the most bizarre match I've ever witnessed. The 5-5 play off semi-final against Sheffield United. Followed by the 0-4 loss against Preston in the final, one of my worst ever experiences as a Swindon fan.

2013 - under Di Canio we score 14 goals conceding none in 3 successive homes games against Tranmere, Portsmouth & Carlisle and we are on course for successive promotions. All went wrong when Andrew Black pulled his funding, Di Canio left and we lose on pens to Brentford in the play off semi-finals.

I should have shopped you in to Ben Lambert when he asked me if I knew who 'stormed the boardroom' Smiley

Actually, not sure I've ever really properly met you. I'll let you off.

1. Jerel Ifil
2. Luc Nijholt
3. Jack Stephens
4. Louis Reed
5. Frazer Blake-Tracy

Top five STFC number 5s. Only from the allocated shirt numbers era, so Prem season and then 1999 onwards, according to Mr. Banyard. Will Wright has every chance of breaking into the list if he plays two seasons.

And worst 5 for my own amusement

1. Jamie Slabber (extra points for giving a forward #5)
2. Vincent Pericard (see above)
3. Anton Rogers
4. Chris Robertson
5. Jonathan Grounds

And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
