Herbie Williams, a totally under rated footballer from the East side who on his day could play in midfield as well as at centre half. Aston Villa came to town one Boxing Day, 20,000 crammed into the Vetch Field and who can remember the tussle he had with Andy Lochhead. A quality footballer and a...

Technically, a lot of the money clubs will be put off with Vipotnik's limitations but if our owners can hold off for a season selling one or two of our gems in the summer, just think what that extra couple of percentage points Vitor will add to the quality of our squad next season. The reaction...

Its all about clever recruitment on and off the field, just take a look at Bournemouth, averaging 11,000 gates for each match yet are 11th in the PL table, while Brentford are not doing too shabby either.

Loanee Keith Lowe gave away the penalty, season 2005/6

Didn't he spend some time living in the Rhondda a few years back, Caerau?

I was a regular at Landore for academy games when we were living in Swansea but all I will say is that my hair parting is far wider than Michael Douglas's!! :)

Modern day negative judgements about our players are no different to the negativity one had in the Swansea public houses in the pre-internet/web era. Difficult to walk away from the boring fan who knew everything about the players and who never went to the Vetch Field at that time while the good...

Kyrell's goal

Looking forward to seeing what a new signing will change the team for me is all part and parcel of being a football fan - first home game of the season, the FA Cup draw, who are we playing on Boxing Day - all the ingredients that might not have the same attraction for other fans but the buzz is...

Michael Howard is a keen Swans fan, sat on the open bank behind the goal at Gillingham during the Kenny Jackett era

On a final note, looking through Keith Walker’s opening 3 seasons, I believe he arrived at the Vetch Field as a midfielder but in his first 5 games he covered for the injured Terry Boyle at c/back alongside Mark Harris. Following an injury that saw him sidelined for almost 2 months he returned...

Triple signing on 23rd November 1989 by manager Ian Evans. Striker John Hughes(£70,000) previously a part time professional with Berwick Rangers, the signing was one third of a £260,000 package that included midfielder Keith Walker(£80,000) and striker Paul Chalmers(£110,000). A fourth player...

Report of the game from a Colchester perspective. Still awaiting a report from the Swans OS. https://www.cu-fc.com/news/2026/february/03/u-s-through-in-premier-league-cup/ Here's the Swans line-up

Technically, not including Kuqi u we have had at least four players that have played for the Swans, one in a first team pre-season friendly and three in reserve team matches. HEIKKINEN Ari Birthplace: Vuolijoki, Finland; Date of Birth: 08/04/1964 Central Defender Trialist centre half who lined...

Considering Bobby Wales was a regular on our bench in recent weeks does that mean we will be looking to sign a striker on loan now that Wales is off to Huddersfield, or is Vitor relying on Cullen as a back up or playing Widell now and then.

Malc, Niallo pens a concise report of every game be they 18's or 21's that can still be viewed on the SCFC2 board. Very informative, constructive and well worth a read.

Its not the recruitment staff we need to poach its the Matthew Bentham's of this world and Brighton's Tony Bloom who would dictate policy with their own cash, set their stall out instead of hoping that the lure of low finance investors -Modric, Snoop Dog etc, will attract further investment that...

Hi Malc, no criticism of Vitor, quite refreshing to see an attacking brand of football but - a failure to take our chances at home or away have certainly prevented the team from failing to take points especially when the performance warranted it. Will Nunes be the catalyst to scoring or...

Apart from Vipotnik who is actually going to get his name on the scoresheet on a regular basis, and while Nunes might be an unknown at this moment in time, keeping a clean sheet is not a given, as Blackburn proved a few days back.

As for being safe from relegation - for me far too early especially with two clubs just 7 and 8 points behind us. Is this the season where 51/ 52 points will be needed and not forgetting Birmingham were relegated after getting 50 points two seasons back. All that needs to happen is a severe...
