Swindon Town Football Club 1907-8 season
Swindon Town Football Club 1907-8 season. Swindons exploits at this time owed a lot to the skilful forward Harold John Fleming (1887-1955) who was capped by England 11 times between 1909 and 1914 despite playing outside the Football League. Fleming remained with Swindon throughout a playing career spanning 1907 and 1924 and went on to live in the town for his entire life (see: 10075557). Another player featured is the wonderfully-named Herbert Ernest Saxon Bertie Cordey Lyon (1877-?) !! Date: circa 1907

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Swindon Town Football Club team during the 1907-08 season, a time when the team's success was largely attributed to the exceptional skills of their forward, Harold John Fleming. Born in Swindon in 1887, Fleming spent his entire football career with the team, from 1907 until 1924. His talent was recognized beyond the local league, as he earned eleven caps for the English national team between 1909 and 1914. Fleming's teammate in this image is the colorfully named Herbert Ernest Saxon Bertie Cordey Lyon, who also contributed significantly to Swindon Town's success during this era. Despite playing outside the Football League, these players and their teammates made a name for themselves on the pitch, leaving a lasting legacy in Swindon's football history. The image, dating back to circa 1907, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the passion and dedication of these early footballers as they represented their town and country with pride.
