Admin Ian M Posted May 12, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 That sounds to me like the interview went a little like this:Journo: "Tell us who you're signing for, we don't want to get it wrong"Heywood: "Don't want to say publicly just yet"Journo: "Ok, tell me who then and I won't directly attribute any quotes to you but put it as the main slant of the story" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Indeed. Good luck to the guy I hold no grudges if he leaves... It's Smith that I want to stay.←You might want to prepare yourself for further disappointment then Rich.This is all part of a master plan to turn you into the City fan we secretly all know you are. Basically, we're signing your entire team. Apart from Hewlett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I would welcome Heywood.The sort of player that can command the defence.Havn't heard a lot of good things from the Swindle fans, but I'd say he has the potential to become our new WOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH Shaun Taylor!

Pie Eater Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I was just thinking what happened last time we signed a commanding centre back from Swindon.A cetain Mr Taylor. I cant recall this guy is he in the Taylor mould? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesco Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I was really impressed with him the other week at the county ground and i would like to see him put the city shirt on. The type of player we missed and still with age on his side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Hewlett. ←That would be a stroke of genius on Tinnion's behalf wouldn't it!"Okay 7th placed Bristol City how do you get out of this division?"(Reply)"I know we'll get the out of contract players from 12th placed Swindon town!" Oh and whoever it was... Don't ever compare Matty Heywood to Shaun Taylor! You'll end up disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played top flight football. He could read a game better than almost any centre half I've seen at the Gate. He organised those around him to almost perfection. His heading was top draw. He was as brave as a lion. And his timing of tackles usually spot on. And when you watch his distribution he rarely gave the ball away. Admittedly it was either a 5 yard pass or a 60 yard knock behind the full back but VERY acurate... in fact one of those passes Scott Murray was starved of all season.

Rich-TWSC- Posted May 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Shaun Taylor is my all-time favourite Swindon Town player. He'd get it for his 110% attitute alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
