FORMER Swindon Robins star David Ashby has lost his battle with cancer at the age of 65.
David, brother of Martin, passed away in a hospice on Wednesday evening after a battle with cancer.
He was born in Marlborough on November 11, 1949 and rode for Swindon between 1972 and 1978, making 151 appearances.
Although very much Robins through-and-through, he also made appearances for Peterborough, Leicester and Milton Keynes.
"We send our best wishes and condolences to David's family and friends," said the club website.
