Old Swindon Programmes

Next up tomorrow for #STFC a trip to struggling #TRFC & this old programme from 2018/19 a 2-1 win for Town Richard’s and Doughty scoring as Richie Wellens started improving the team

Didn’t realise Nigel Adkins was a goalkeeper

Up next for #STFC is a trip to #TRFC we need another win hopefully play better this time! This old programme from 84/5 a 2-0 win with Rowland & Nelson scoring with 2051 watching , team sheet in those days was unusual

@tranmereandy1 Yes unusual issue but it was good to get a team sheet

@stprogs One of our worse programme efforts, copying York City - lasted for 6 games before a normal’ programme was introduced

OTD 32 years ago #STFC played #MUFC in the premier league and drew 2-2 Cantona sent off , Nijholt & Fjortoft scoring for Town in front of over 18000

In 1993 the play-off final between Swindon Town and Leicester City was a classic. A 7 goal thriller and then promotion for #STFC Player-manager Glenn Hoddle got the ball rolling with this finish in the 1st half.

@RobboSTFC @SamMorshead_ That old away end was always lively with them close on the terrace and seats the other side

@stprogs @SamMorshead_ Yep, chalk & cheese! Oh to be a proper club again… 💭 At the League game I remember a group of Gillingham lads suddenly making themselves known just behind me on the away terrace, & shenanigans ensued.

Who else hadn't been born the last time Swindon won at Gillingham?

@RobboSTFC @SamMorshead_ Yes same with me, great season that was remember the win at Priestfield well great times , nothing like the game last night!

@SamMorshead_ I was at that game 🤌🏼 I went to Priestfield twice that season……& eventually we finished them off at Selhurst Park, on a GLORIOUS Friday night in south London 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

@Robin_Allen91 I was there that day brilliant 3-1 win

+6 points against Gillingham this season, 2 clean sheets & a first league win at Priestfield in 40 years… Satisfying! #STFC

Started out as a teenager at #STFC a brilliant player for us briefly but was soon sold

A brilliant player for #STFC

A vital game tonight for #STFC at #GILLS we need a win , looking back at an old encounter a 0-2 defeat but we had a good side then , if only Ranger had kept out of trouble, good player

Up next tomorrow night #STFC travel to old rivals #GILLS where we haven’t won since dec 86 , this game was a 0-3 defeat as manager Iffy Onuora had a sky documentary team with big Ron following him around , page on David Peach remember him??

@Stephen78857051 My dad always bought the express but I never got the hat , great souvenir of the day

@stprogs Thanks & Yep it's a hat. Can't recall if they were just giving them out or they were inside that morning's Daily Express? A few supporters are wearing them in this pic. I bought the shirt & mug on a trip back to Swindon to watch them play in the Premiership.

Looking back at 57 years ago today and the famous league cup win for #STFC over #AFC a press cuttings off the fourth round win over #COV & the 40th anniversary Swindon advertiser

@Stephen78857051 Love this display, the daily express piece on the right looks good never seen it before is it a hat? And love the white top and mug

@stprogs Just part of the display when we had a 50th anniversary party of the league Cup Final @ my place. Was a great night highlighted by watching the game on TV. The first time my son had seen it, he instantly became a of fan of Don Rogers👍

@Stephen78857051 Mine is looking its age these days

@stprogs I've also still got my scrapbook from that memorable season👍

National press coverage from 57 years ago when #STFC famously won the league cup at Wembley , all from an old scrapbook, apologies for the quality!

OTD 57 years ago #STFC famously won the league cup at Wembley 3-1 v Arsenal

More memories from the anniversary of #STFC Winning the league cup, this is from the reunion on the 40th anniversary, great to see Danny in these pictures
