Sky Sports is launching a survey to find out the best player ever to wear a Swindon shirt - and we would like you to get involved.
We asked fans of each of the 92 English League teams and Scottish Premier League sides to nominate their all-time favourite footballers - and now the nominations are in.
We have sifted through the nominees and narrowed the Leeds candidates down to ten.
Perhaps you remember the days of winger Don Rogers, one of the most exciting players to pull on a Swindon shirt. Rogers netted two goals in extra-time which won Swindon the League Cup Final in 1969 as the Robins beat Arsenal 3-1. Town also won promotion to the Second Division as runners-up in the Third Division in the same season (1968-69).
The glory days returned to Swindon in the mid-1980s as the Robins were Fourth Division champions in 1986 and Third Division play-off winners in 1987 under manager Lou Macari, with the team featuring the likes of former Argentine international Ossie Ardiles.
In Ardiles' first season Swindon were Second Division play-off winners but Town had the promotion taken from them 10 days later as the Football League demoted them for irregular payments to players. That team featured the likes of Alan McLoughlin, Duncan Shearer, Steve White, Paul Bodin, Colin Calderwood, Ross MacLaren, David Kerslake and Fraser Digby.
Under boss Glenn Hoddle, Swindon won the Division One play-offs in the 1992-93 season, bringing top-flight football to the County Ground for the first time. Are Shaun Taylor, Mickey Hazard, Craig Maskell and John Moncur worthy of your vote?
Swindon suffered relegation from the Premier League the following season under boss John Gorman and Town had players such as record signing Jan-Aage Fjortoft.
Boss Steve McMahon led Town to promotion in 1995-96, with the Robins winning the Division Two title with the likes of Kevin Horlock, Wayne Allison, Peter Thorne and Ian Culverhouse. Should any of those players receive a nomination?
And what about the side that won promotion from League Two in the 2006-07 season under firstly boss Dennis Wise and then Paul Sturrock, including the likes of Phil Smith, Jamie Vincent, Jerel Ifil, Lee Peacock and Sofiane Zaaboub.
How about striker Simon Cox, who has netted 30 goals in the current 2008-09 season as new boss Danny Wilson guided the club to League One safely.
