"We will always have that night in November" - Tributes pour in for McLoughlin
TRIBUTES have poured in from across football for Swindon Town legend Alan McLoughlin, who has died at the age of 54.
The former Republic of Ireland midfielder – who famously scored the goal that took Jack Charlton’s side to the 1994 World Cup in the USA – made 136 appearances for Town, finding the net 25 times.
He also netted the winner in the 1990 play-off final against Sunderland at Wembley Stadium before going on to take up the academy manager role at the County Ground years later.
Swindon Town joined McLoughlin's former clubs Portsmouth, Wigan Athletic and Southampton in expressing their sadness at the news, while a host of former teammates and players stated their devastation.
