In August last year, the club announced that its third shirt would feature the charity on its front rather than mainline sponsor, Imagine Cruising who threw their wholehearted support behind the idea and charity.
Back in January, for the first time since 2010, Swindon didn’t wear red at home. As part of our support of the Darby-Rimmer Foundation, we wore our purple third shirt against the only other club in the division for which Stephen Darby played for – that day’s opponents, Bradford City.
Stephen joined Swindon on-loan from Liverpool in March 2010 with the club fighting for promotion from League One. While his time at the club was from March until the end of the season, Stephen made 12 appearances in total, his impact was huge and he will be remembered for his winning penalty, in that year’s third kit, in the Play-Off Semi Final away at Charlton.
Stephen was diagnosed with motor-neurone disease in 2018 and has since set up the Darby-Rimmer Foundation which is seeking to raise money to help fight the disease, alongside Chris Rimmer, an ex-serviceman also diagnosed with the condition.
Shirts are available from the club shop website from 10:00am, 12.06.2020.
