IN MEMORY OF...

...THOSE TOWN SERVANTS WHO DIED ON THIS DAY

September 13

1991
Aged 87

Gordon GUNSON
Winger Gordon - whose first name was Joseph - was with Town in 1934/35. He was still active in the game at 60, as manager of Dolgellau. Gordon died in a nursing home in Broughton, Clwyd.

1955
Aged 76

Frank BEVAN
The son of a station master, Frank came to the GWR works as an engine fitter, lodging above a grocers shop in Armstrong Street. But he spent only one season at the County Ground before enjoying a 10-year career in south Wales.

1938
Aged 28

Bob WALLACE
The full-back cost Town £250 in January 1935, but was surprisingly released on a free transfer at the end of the season. He died just three years later from a brain tumour.

Full career history for these and every other STFC player can be found in the new book SWINDON TOWN: THE REGISTER 1895-2015 - available now from our ON LINE SHOP
