Albion connections with Swindon over the years.

[Lady Whistledown]

Ian Culverhouse, Calvin Andrew, Trevor Benjamin.

Also Peter Brezovan, who saved two penalties on his Swindon debut, and whose career with them went somewhat downhill from there.

Saved a penalty on his debut for us too!

Having just googled Brezovan, it says he only made 47 appearances for us. Funny, as I'd assumed it would have been a few more. Then again, I guess he was always up against someone else for most of his time.

Do Swindon fans still hate us or have they got over that play off defeat? Found that bitterness funny

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Swindon fans actually love us, as they beat us 3-0 in the League Cup last time we played. Plus they've got some good bargains from us in recent years.

There is a list of 67 players who have played for both clubs, ranging from Jack Smith to Albert Jarrett
One of the names from the past was Peter Leggett who was hailed as the 'new George Best' when he was signed by Archie Macaulay, but looks were the only thing that they had in common.

Crystal Palace.

The name Swindon means Hill of Pigs. Enough said.

Crystal Palace.

It crossed my mind, but felt to obvious. How many players have played for both?

Including managers, it was 58 up to the end of 1996/97

With Fulham it was 63 up to the same period, and Millwall at 64...

but I'm guessing our links with Palace have caught up this figure since then.
