One of my first games as a young Swindon fan was the FA Cup game against Blackburn in 1984 - for years, I had a vivid memory of what I remembered to be the goal that won Blackburn the game. It wasn't until I saw this clip some time later that I realised that I had got these two games muddled in my head - Steve Archibald's brace winning the game in 1988, and not the one four years earlier! I also remember Ossie Ardiles getting dog's abuse from the Shrivenham Road stand - the future Town boss smiling to the crowd as he wasted a few moments towards the end of the game. |
