For a few short weeks in 1997, Chris Hay could do no wrong.
In his first season in Wiltshire, the striker went on a freescoring romp that propelled Swindon Town to the top of the second tier. A return to the Premier League seemed possible, because of his goals.
And then the world turned upside down.
Hay now works as a property portfolio manager for an insurance company in Brighton. He finds The Moonraker’s interest in his Swindon story, nearly 25 years after it ended, somewhat fascinating.
