1991
A 5-2 win over fellow relegation candidates Leicester puts the Town on fifty points - which is enough to keep Swindon in the Second Division.

1964
17,000 people are in attendance for the FA Youth Cup Final First Leg at the County Ground, when the Town take on Manchester United. Don Rogers opens the scoring for Swindon, but George Best equalises - and the match finishes level for the return leg at Old Trafford.

1911
Swindon complete the Southern League and Charity Cup double, after beating Brighton 1-0 in the Charity Cup final replay. In a match played on a Thursday afternoon, just 1,500 people attend - and they watch Archie Bown score the decisive goal five minutes before half-time.

1895
Having finished bottom of the first ever Southern League campaign, the Town are forced into a Test Match against New Brompton (now Gillingham) to determine if they are relegated to the Second Division of the league. Swindon are thumped 5-1 at Caversham, but the authorities later decide to extend the league from nine to eleven clubs, and the Town's First Division status is preserved.
