Jim White Saturday 7th August 1999 – York City 1 v 0 Swansea City – Nationwide League Division Three Just returned from York with my 2 sons, and the phrase ‘here we go again’ comes to mind. We played some nice football in areas where it does not hurt the opposition. York did not have a look …
Is John Hollins worthy of the elite mantle of one of Swansea’s finest managers? He has yet to reach the mantle of John Toshack and promote us to our deserved position in the 1st division, for a city the size of Swansea it is really what we deserve, for all the hardships we suffered in …
ANOTHER season over, and it’s one we all want to put behind us very quickly and get on with planning for a new campaign. But like everything in life there are lessons to be drawn from the past winter and we must take them on board to build a stronger squad of players. The club …
Saturday 2nd May, 1998 – Mansfield Town 1 v 0 Swansea City – Nationwide Football League Division Three TROUBLE AT MILL – THANK GODNESS IT’S ALL OVER By John Burgum SWANSEA left the war behind them at Field Mill to head for the calmer waters of the close season to regroup and plan for a …

WHEN you get asked immediately after a match about the performance of one particular player it’s difficult not to get drawn into looking at the wider picture. That is exactly how I felt in the tea-time discussion after our 3-0 win over Rochdale on Easter Monday. Everyone wanted to know what I thought about Richie …
I’VE BEEN clocking up the miles again this week with just one aim – to find the players who can put us in the promotion frame next season. With no midweek match, it has been ideal for both Alan Curtis and myself to hit the road in search for those players who could make a …
IT WAS a pretty sickening sight watching that Barnsley fan trying to attack the referee in the Liverpool match last weekend. We do not need that violent side giving our great game a bad name but I can honestly see it happening more and more next season. Why? Simply because FIFA are outlawing the tackle …
Tuesday 24th March, 1998 – Wrexham 2 v 2 Swansea City (AET) – Wrexham win 5-4 on penalties – Quarter-Final FAW Trophy ROGER Freestone went from hero to villain in a split second last night as Swansea lost their grip on the richest prize in Welsh sport.
