No.11 | Danny Wilson | Manager December 2008 to March 2011 | Score 278.2 Now back in business with Sheffield United, in early March Danny Wilson was a broken man. After coming so near to promotion less than a season ago, his Swindon side were staring relegation in the face and Wilson decided to resign, [...]
No.12 | Paul Sturrock | Manager November 2006 to November 2007 | Score 265.5 I’ve finally reached a Swindon Town manager who actually achieved something positive in this countdown, as Paul Sturrock secured us a promotion! On joining on 7th November 2006, Town had been without a manager for two weeks following Dennis Wise’s departure. After [...]
No.13 | John Gorman | Manager June 1993 to November 1994 | Score 259.53 John Gorman could’ve followed Glenn Hoddle to Chelsea, but he didn’t. Instead the untested and brave Gorman stayed on at the request of chairman Ray Hardman, reflecting the views of the majority of supporters who wanted continuity as Town faced the toughest of tasks to avoid [...]
No.14 | Les Allen | Manager November 1972 to February 1974 | Score 258.1 From one Allen who was a club legend in the early 20th century, to manager No.14 Les Allen, who clearly doesn’t deserve to be this high in this countdown. That is despite Les’ own legendary status as a player with Spurs and QPR in the 1950s [...]
Reports have suggested defender Alberto Comazzi is to be unveiled as Paolo Di Canio’s first Swindon Town signing from Italy. The 32 year old defender currently plays for Spezia Calcio in the Italian third tier, after a career that has taken in Milan, Como, Monza, Lazio, Verona and Ancona. I’ve invited Milan based Calcistico.com editor and writer Dylan Fahy to give the lowdown [...]
After only joining Swindon Town from Torquay United for a reported £80,000 in January as Danny Wilson’s ’replacement’ for Charlie Austin, Elliot Benyon has today confirmed a season long loan to League One new boys Wycombe Wanderers. As Elliot moves to Buckinghamshire, it has left Billy Bodin as our only recognised forward and me living in the hope this transfer [...]
No.15 | Sam Allen | Manager July 1920 to April 1933 | Score 256.9 In this feature I’m only counting seasons starting from the 1920/21 season. This was when Swindon Town were elected as founding members of Division Three. Of course, Sam Allen was appointed head of team affairs back in 1902, so these statistics don’t include his [...]
No.16 | Louis Page | Manager 1945 to May 1953 | Score 250.4 Louis was Swindon’s fourth manager, appointed after the War to lead Town in Division Three South. With the club having been closed down and the County Ground turned into a POW camp, Town are at a disadvantage to our competitors, howver Louis steers Town to [...]
Barnet fan Lucy Waldon gives the lowdown on Swindon Town’s latest signing, 24 year old defender Joe Devera, who joins on a free transfer. As a Barnet fan, I’ve seen Joe Devera progressed massively – arising from the youth (Protec) team and cementing his place in the first team’s back four. He can play at either [...]
