Ian Holloway said he had never been more proud after his side smashed in three goals in the dying minutes to complete a comeback win against nine-man Tranmere.
Rovers looked on course to bag their first victory at the County Ground for nearly 20 years after Josh Davison’s wonder strike.
The former Town loanee barrelled down the right flank and slammed inside the near post from an almost impossible angle after just seven minutes.
But late goals from Paul Glatzel, Harry Smith and Kabongo Tshimanga gave Swindon three wins on the trot for the first time since September 2022.
Former Premier League boss Holloway said: “Today was a massive result, a fantastic comeback and we utterly deserved it.
“And that’s as proud as I’ve ever been about anybody. I would pay to watch my team now.
“I’m so pleased with the aggression the team’s showing now, that togetherness. They’re playing for this badge like a fan would now.
“The chairman’s here today and I know he’d be really proud. I can’t tell you how chuffed I am.”
But Holloway vowed not to get carried away as he tries to haul Town, now 16th, further away from the drop zone.
He said: “I’m not going to celebrate til I’ve got something to celebrate about, so you can do all of that nonsense.
“But I will only be doing a jig for you when I feel we’ve got what I believe we are capable of.”
Rovers were the better side in the first half and following his earlier near-post embarrassment, Town keeper Jack Bycroft then made sure to get a firm hand to punch Sol Soloman’s inswinging free-kick over.
After the break Swindon substitute Danny Butterworth hit the post with a deflected shot before a reckless tackle on Smith saw Cameron Norman collect a second yellow in the 62nd minute.
With three minutes of normal time left, sub Glatzel smashed home in a crowded box.
And in the 90th minute Smith bundled home at the far post before Declan Drysdale received a second yellow for a handball in the dying seconds, with Tshimanga slotting home the penalty.
Rovers boss Nigel Adkins blasted his team’s poor discipline after warning Norman and Drysdale to stay cool at the break.
He said: “At half-time it was a clear message to both players, we must keep 11 players on the pitch.
“I thought the lads had done well for the first half. Great goal from Josh Davidson. We were solid.
“We start the second half and we’re OK, and then we go down to 10 men. It was a poor decision (by Norman) to make a challenge, it gives the referee no option.”
