My first game ever, remember David Cole scoring after about 5 minutes, and was hooked, think he took it round the keeper for some reason, now I think about it would''ve been quite a finish for a centre half. Don''t remember too much else about the game, Swindon had just gone top of Division 4, and stayed there for the remainder of the season.
