Stud mark of doom Posted 16 January, 2020 Posted 16 January, 2020 League cup Southampton 0 Swindon 2 HT Bruise Brothers Shearer and Ruddock subbed on Southampton 2 Swindon 2 FT Southampton 4 Swindon 2 AET Great night.
Chez Posted 16 January, 2020 Posted 16 January, 2020 one the best games Saints I have ever been to. Swindon brought a huge away support, there was an amazing atmosphere under the lights, and it was of course great game.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 16 January, 2020 Posted 16 January, 2020 Was this the game where Alan McLoughlin scored & played really well & pretty much convinced Chris Nicholl to buy him to make him our first £1m player? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
Simon3737 Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 Sounds like I missed out on watching that one. Is it on YouTube or Snapnonsence? Lol
JRM Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 There's a good pic from this game in 'In The Number ' book with a mini pitch invasion from the lower West benches when we get our equaliser . Cup runs under the lights at The Dell were amazing.

JRM Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 yep, Barry Horne!! Horne was a different lower west benches pitch invasion against Bolton a couple of years later wasn’t he.

Noodles34 Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 Horne was a different lower west benches pitch invasion against Bolton a couple of years later wasn’t he. yeah, i know, equalised in 95th minute against Bolton, people streaming back in. Just echoing your 'nights under the lights' at The Dell.
kwsaint Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 I was at the Swindon game. Remember the third goal being a MLT free-kick bent round the wall into the top corner. Cracking goal.
Stud mark of doom Posted 17 January, 2020 Author Posted 17 January, 2020 http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19900708 Brilliant - thanks for posting. I did try to find highlights before posting the OP. I wasn’t even sure it was on TV.
Chez Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19900708 Great find. I don't remember any of those goals, just the huge crowd (you can see that ever stand is rammed. I don't think I've ever seen the Milton end so busy, there wasn't an inch of room even out towards the corner flags). Electric atmosphere and obviously having gone 0-2 down, it was extremely tense. Brilliant Saints team that season of course and not many left as we were always a threat. I think it's the first game I had seen at the Dell that went to extra time. Great days. This, Bolton and Oldham cup games really stick in mind.
benjii Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19900708 Awesome,thanks for that. LeTiss, Wallace, Rideout. Absolute class.
Stud mark of doom Posted 17 January, 2020 Author Posted 17 January, 2020 The bend on that free kick from MLT - must be one of (even) his best. What a find!
Matty's Caddy Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 Under the east stand that night, remember it like yesterday. Funny how certain games stick in the memory As everyone walked out, a massive rendition of ‘f@@k off Swindon, Swindon f@@k off’ Happy times
Turkish Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 that was a great game. I was in the Milton just behind where Le Tissiers free kick went in, the bend was incredible and knew it was going in before he hit it, it just had that feel about it. Packed Dell, massive away following, two teams going for it, the under dog taking a 2-0 lead and their keeper playing out of their skin, a comeback, extra time and four great goals. I think I listed that as one of my favourite every games on another thread a few weeks ago. Night games in the cup at the Dell were something special
Cabrone Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 That was a great season, MLT, Rod Wallace and Alan Shearer were on fire. Lots of goals scored and lots of goals conceded, 'Pool got a spanking at the Dell, 8 were scored against Norwich (h and a) and 6 against Luton at home. Chris Nicoll played some really entertaining teams, not bad for an old school centre half like he was.
richie Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 Horne was a different lower west benches pitch invasion against Bolton a couple of years later wasn’t he. 1991-92. Lost to Norwich in the quarters.
Maggie May Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19900708 That is beautiful. Love Saints.

Sadly in poor health now.
sadoldgit Posted 17 January, 2020 Posted 17 January, 2020 The bend on that free kick from MLT - must be one of (even) his best. What a find! I’d forgotten this one with so many others getting in the way. What a strike.
benjii Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Funny how that MLT goal is never on a highlights reel.
Noodles34 Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Yes, one of our underrated managers who was treated shabbily in the end. Sadly in poor health now. you think, we were awful the next season and were so close to be relegated. Something like 20 games or so without a win, ironically after he’d won a MOM award I think. He tried to go after the Forest game, his dog had died, we lost the replay and that was it for him, but they would not take his resignation. Only a late surge inspired by a Neil Ruddock penalty (Le Tiss was on the pitch too WTF) against Newcastle if memory serves me well? If you want to talk about underrated, Rod Wallace, totally underrated and never really took off after he left us. Nice lad too, awful agent. as for Nicholl genuinely nice man, shame to see him now but as for results, that season was bad. and then came Branfoot

Genuinely top class.
CB Fry Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Rod Wallace did win the league with Leeds. Strange he never got any international recognition but he had a pretty decent career.
benjii Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Rod Wallace did win the league with Leeds. Strange he never got any international recognition but he had a pretty decent career. I know what you mean. It feels like he should have gone to great things. Despite winning the league it feels like he didn't really achieve what he should. A bit like Walcott. I know he's had a good career and his bank balance will be fine, thanks, but it feels like he never found his groove.

But, to be fair to Chris, we were also top of the league early in on that previous season and finished strongly. The season with the Swindon win was one of our best ever I think. You’re right that the next one wasn’t as good. In retrospect Nichol was a really good manager whose main problem was following on from an all time great.
