[Hbk69]

1998 team, discussion over

 

[Johnap]

Good players but an imbalance in midfield and a strange choice at right back?

Probably change the formation to include Crossan and drop Tueart. Martin could play right back in that line-up. The only Right Backs I saw were Colin Nelson, Cec Irwin and Dick Malone and none of them could tackle a fish supper.

Wow Glenn Hoddle doesn't get a start

I remember him playing sweeper for Swindon at Roker Park in a 0-0 draw late in the season in 1992. It was a monday night, we had a massive fixture pile up due to our 92 FA Cup final run

 

[smillingjimmyc]

Micky H - great Sunderland lad.

Did you really never see Don Rogers play?

Good players but an imbalance in midfield and a strange choice at right back?

Can't remember martin harvey ever playing right back.Midfield,centre back ,left back and seem to remember him going in goal in some game.Sure i will be "corrected" if wrong.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Probably change the formation to include Crossan and drop Tueart. Martin could play right back in that line-up. The only Right Backs I saw were Colin Nelson, Cec Irwin and Dick Malone and none of them could tackle a fish supper.

I think I would put in a midfielder with a bit of bite.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

Hoddke on the bench!?

It’s favourite not best.
It’s skewed by time unfortunately and the late 70’s my favourite period following Swindon. No current day players in that team.

Micky H - great Sunderland lad.

Did you really never see Don Rogers play?

I did see Don Rogers but right at the end of his career.
He was done by then. 1975 my first season mate.

Wow Glenn Hoddle doesn't get a start

As said before favourite not best.
If a best Hoddle would definitely be on it.
Mind you a best could put out a cracking Swindon side.
Calderwood over Hoddle every day in favourite. He went from Division Four with us right to the top.

Met Andy Rowland as one of my Mates played a blinder which I was grateful.
At a sponsored match, meal and drinks before the game and all that.
In walks Andy Rowland and sits down next to me and had not noticed.
My face and language when I turned around.
Spent 15 mins in the table chatting, special moment.
