The Ground Jewels

33. David Squires & The County Ground (Swindon)

Listen on

Episode notes

This week's guest is the cartoonist David Squires and David has nominated The County Ground, home of Swindon Town FC as his ground jewel.

We discussed David's youth in Wiltshire, his first game against Tranmere Rovers, the club's golden period under first Lou Macari, then Ossie Ardilles and finally Glenn Hoddle, who David believes is the best player he ever saw in a Swindon shirt.

We also touched on the lack of investment in the ground/club of late and by law as it's a podcast featuring Swindon the magic roundabout was mentioned.
