Career
Fleming was an inside forward and began his career at Saint Marks before being invited for a trial at Swindon Town by manager, Sam Allen. Harold Fleming became a Swindon Town legend scoring 203 times in 332 games for Swindon and if not for World War I his career may have been more successful. He worked as a physical education instructor during the conflict.
Fleming"s legendary status in the minds of Swindon supporters is cemented by a road named after the forward close to the County Ground named Fleming Way and a statue which stands in the club"s foyer.
