1991–92 Swindon Town F.C. season
season of football team
During the 1991–92 English football season, Swindon Town F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.
Season summary
In the 1991–92 season, Hoddle's first full season in charge saw a complete change in fortune where in November Swindon were at the top of the table. Unfortunately though, a run of two defeats and then six draws on the bounce saw Swindon slip out of the play-off places, and though they made their way back up the table, four defeats in early March put them just off the pace. Blackburn then attempted to put a huge dent in Swindon's promotion push - making an offer of £800,000 for 32-goal Shearer - and it was an offer that cash-strapped Swindon couldn't afford to refuse. Shearer left, and Swindon scored just seven goals in the nine games that followed, finishing eighth.

Why this record matters
“1991–92 Swindon Town F.C. season” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Swindon, Town and season provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 29, 2026.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
