A
former Australian under-20 international, Colin Todd signed Danny Invincibile
for Swindon after spotting him playing in a trial match for West Ham, managing
to fight off competition from a number of First Division clubs. He joined shortly
before the 2000/2001 season started, and made his debut on the opening day of
the season, in a 0-0 home draw with Colchester. It was a strange season
for Danny - firstly, Colin Todd utilised him as a right-sided midfielder, then,
when Andy King took over, he inexplicably began to use him as a wing-back. Predictably,
he looked out of position - which prompted King to drop Danny to the bench for
a period, and Wycombe manager Lawrie Sanchez to make a bid of £50,000, which
was dismissed as derogatory. Despite all this, Danny ended the season as
the club's top scorer, and became a firm crowd favourite - not least because of
the spectacular last minute volley he scored in the last home game of the season
versus Peterborough, which saved the Town from relegation to Division Three. After
King was sacked, Roy Evans began to play Danny up front, where he looks far more
comfortable - and King has kept him there since his reinstatement. Danny sees
his best position as an attacking central midfielder, where he played back in
Australia. |
