Paul GILCHRIST

Gilchrist signed for Swindon after an unhappy year at Portsmouth, whose fans didn't take kindly to the fact that he was a successful ex-Southampton player, having won the FA Cup with them in 1976.

Despite the fact that Bobby Smith was in charge of team affairs, it was General Manager (and ex-Town manager) Danny Williams who influenced the signing of Gilchrist in August 1978. Smith didn't take well to this, and within a month, he had bought Andy Rowland from Bury.

Because of this, Gilchrist found it difficult to break into the first team, even though his scoring record was good - he scored six goals from ten games. He was one of the players who made way after a home defeat by Plymouth in January that season - and he only made seven more substitute appearances for the club, before leaving for Hereford in March 1980.
