Congratulations to Roger Reeves who was awarded the Swindon Adver’s unsung hero award. Roger has been instrumental with supporting the STFC Ladies for many years and is a great ambassador to have on board. Reeves is a Swindon Town stalwart and has played a major role in the development of Swindon Town Ladies over the past 20 years. He is referred to as Mr Swindon Town Ladies. It is a title that’s fully warranted, given that he has served as manager, fixtures secretary, chairman of the South West Combination and all-round general dogsbody for the club in that time. But having received his prize on Thursday night, Reeves was typically modest and looked to shift the spotlight away from him and onto those just like him across Wiltshire. ​“I’m a bit flabbergasted, really, and a bit tongue-tied,” he said. ​“There are lots of people who do background work for local sport and to just get nominated was an embarrassment almost because I’m one of so many. ​“The trouble is I’m not an Unsung Hero any more but it feels absolutely fantastic. There are loads of people who do the sort of thing I do and to be picked from all of those really is an honour. ​“It’s not work, it’s football. It’s a labour of love and that means it’s not work.”
