Swindon Town's Journey to the Premier League

Swindon Town’s Journey to the Premier League is the epic story of the Robins’ five-year quest to reach the top flight for the first time in their history.

Foreword by Swindon legend and Wales international Paul Bodin.

From David Wallis, author of the critically acclaimed Swindon Town: The Lou Macari Years, this riveting book covers:

• Swindon Town’s enthralling five-season mission to reach the top flight – winning at Wembley, losing promotion but fighting back again • Ossie Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle’s reigns as these international stars cut their managerial teeth in the unfamiliar territory of Division Two, dealing with adversities and financial restraints rarely seen at the top level of English football • The compelling saga of rookie manager John Gorman as he tackles the gargantuan task of preparing his team to meet the giants of English football • The inside story – told through exclusive interviews with five Swindon legends who recall the events, sacrifices, hardships and heartbreaks that peppered the Robins’ rise

Filled with hope and elation, fear and setbacks and the moments that shape a club’s destiny, this is a story that will resonate not only with Swindon supporters, but with football fans everywhere.
