Three out of 13 (now confirmed as 13).

Thought Jake Lee was from Cirencester, but born in Swindon.

Gareth Hopkins? Tall lad in SC's squad...used to come on as a late sub sometimes and do nothing very much worth remembering...

Were his parents living in Wilts at the time, or were they actually in Glos and Swindon happened to be the closest maternity hospital? If the latter then let’s count him as a Gloucestershire lad.

As an aside, working in Newbury as I do, I know loads of people who live in Berkshire who chose to use Swindon GW as their maternity hospital because it's far easier and quicker to get to than the alternative at Reading, being right on M4 J15 with alternate routes in case of problems on the motorway.

I’d hope their kids are considered as ‘from Berkshire’ rather than ‘from Swindon’.

13 Gloucestershire-born, so unfortunately Jake Lee isn't one of them, although yes he's a Gloucestershire lad for sure.

Without looking I'll go with:
Harry Williams
George Lloyd
Matt Bower
Joe Hanks
Cameron Pring
Mike Jackson
Gareth Hopkins
Dave Bird

There were a number of youngsters who played at Doncaster/Southend away so likely to be some in there I'm sure.

I can’t see a mention of Keith Knight anywhere. Cheltenham born and bred. Played for England under 18’s, the England National Game X1 and Reading.

Did Keith play once we got promoted? I thought he retired after that season?

I missed the ‘Football League’ bit!
You are absolutely right. His final games were before promotion to Div. 2.
