He’s big, he’s red, he’s found the perfect bed, D. McGoldrilocks! D. McGoldrilocks!

In the final season of FIFA 11 Swoodilypooper football, D. McGoldrilocks has been voted your Home Town Hero!

After what has proved to be the Swoodilypooper’s most successful season, seeing the squad win the League, League Cup and FA Cup, the fans have spoken and named D. McGoldrilocks as their Player of the Season. Despite the disappointment of losing out on European glory, the Swoodilypoopers fought hard to accomplish something that has never been done in the ‘Real World’ of English football, the fabled Domestic Treble. 

McGoldrilocks was signed after a difficult first season in the Barclay’s Premier League that saw the Swoodilypoopers achieve a respectable 16^th place. A summer of spending by Coach Brothers introduced several County Ground favourites, including other HTH nominee Twice as Weiss.

Life in Swindon wasn’t easy for McGoldrilocks in the early days of his Swoodilypooper career. He made his debut in the last five minutes against QPR, but had little time to make a difference, the match ending Nil-nil. The striker struggled for goals early on, but came up with an important strike against Arsenal in the first 6 minutes of the match, a goal that would ultimately cancel out Van Persie’s equaliser that came just 6 minutes later. However, McGoldrilocks wouldn’t become the legend he is today until the final FIFA 11 season under Coach Brothers, seeing him contribute a number of important goals including an impossible header in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

We were able to catch up with D. McGoldrilocks after the announcement of the award.

He’s big he’s tall, He is also short and small. He is ONE SIZE FITZ HALL!!

He is also this seasons HOME TOWN HERO!!

This was a particularly trying season for the Swoodilypoopers.  With the majority of their games ending in a nil-nil draw and before we talk about Fitz Hall directly it is worth mentioning how well the team actually did this year. With many of the team members playing well above their skill level the Swoodilypoopers were able to remain in the Premier League. 

Fitz Hall started with Swindon Town shortly after Coach Brothers started coaching the team.  He quickly rose to prominence and earned his nickname by being one of those clutch players who could be used in many situations, from heading in a goal off a corner kick or making the defense of the goal look easy.

Its hard to deny the the contributions Hall made to the team this year considering that there was one point about two-thirds through the season where the Swoodilypoopers looked like they might be facing relegation back down to the Championship League its because of Hall’s hustle and passion that they remain for another year.

We also had a chance to sit down with One Size and ask him a few questions.  Here is how it went.

Well Swoodilypooper fans we have come to the close of another season.  Swindon Town has managed to end most of their games with a score of nil-nil and take home the FA Cup for a second year in a row. Over all this season was not the Swoodilypoopers best performance but they are able to stay in the Premier League for next year.

Coach Brothers has asked a lot of questions about the future of the Swoodilypoopers which we encourage you all to go to the video of the FA Cup Final and respond to because it is our team after all.  

This has prompted 3 things to come up here at the Gazette.  

1. As always at the end of the Season we will be running our Home Town Hero Nomination and Competition (LINK HERE WHEN THE POST GOES UP)
2. We will be changing our name, effective at the beginning of next season, to the Swoodilypooper Gazette so that we can continue to cover their escapades no mater what format they move to.  
3. We are thinking about opening up a Kickstarter program to put together a 150pg full colour anthology of the first 3 seasons of the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers.  Please tell us what you think so we can consider getting this off the ground.
