Local news previews of the Coca-Cola Cup Semi-Final: Feb 1995With Swindon in the Semi-Finals, comparisons were inevitably made with the 1969 League Cup winning side - this video shows two local news clips from the BBC and HTV. 
West Match Plus preview of the Coca-Cola Cup Semi-Final: Feb 1995With no quarter-final replays to show, HTV instead aired a preview of the Town's Coca-Cola Cup semi-final, featuring interviews with players and clips from previous League Cup runs - including footage from the Arsenal games in 1969 and 1979, the Wolves semi-final in 1980, and the epic tie with Bolton in 1989/90. 
Coca-Cola Cup - Swindon Town vs Bolton Wanderers: 12 Feb 1995Despite going behind to an early goal from Alan Stubbs, two goals from Peter Thorne give the Town a 2-1 advantage to take to Burnden Park in this Coca-Cola Cup Semi Final First Leg - though not before substitute "W*nk*r" John McGinlay tangled with Mark Robinson - the Town defender's retaliation resulting in a red card and suspension for the second leg. 
Coca-Cola Cup - Bolton Wanderers vs Swindon Town: 8 Mar 1995After the originally scheduled match is postponed with the Town's supporters club coaches having reached Keele services, Swindon take a 2-1 lead for the rearranged fixture, but with a patched up defence missing Paul Bodin, Ian Culverhouse and the suspended Mark Robinson, the relegation threatened side expect an onslaught from promotion chasing Bolton. After a surprisingly tame first half, Swindon surprisingly add to their lead through Jan Fjortoft - but the goal triggers the home side to spring into action, and goals from Jason McAteer, Mixu Paatelainen and, inevitably, John McGinlay (the villain from the first leg) in the last half hour end the Town's Wembley dream. After the game, the Town fans are locked in on the away terrace, and are forced to watch the home side's celebrations, as the tannoy announcer does his best to incite a riot - thanking the Swindon team and fans for playing their part in such a great day. Until Brighton in 2004, my worst experience as a Swindon fan. 
Division One - West Bromwich Albion vs Swindon Town: 19 Mar 1995Struggling at the bottom of Division One, the Town travel to the Hawthorns for a relegation battle - after a goalless first half, Town go one down, equalise, then go behind again on the hour. Jan Fjortoft equalises again with his last goal in a Town shirt with fifteen minutes remaining, and his strike sparks a goal blitz - Peter Thorne sealing a hat-trick and a volley from Ty Gooden handing the Town a superb 5-2 victory.

Swindon's league record against Milton Keynes Dons:
Though the league records may say that MK Dons are a relocated and renamed club originally based in Wimbledon, most football supporters see the two clubs as entirely separate - even Milton Keynes themselves seem to recognise this on their club badge, which is emblazoned with MMIV...
