Takeover offers back in season 1962/63. What would £1,000 be worth in today's money?

Just over £18k apparently!

Not quite Swans related but a team pic of Ragged School F.C. from season 1969/70 which has a Swans connection.

Sorry to say, no

Jeff_Cowbridge

Good one Colin- the season before I started watching regularly.
Is the reserve goalkeeper Nicky Schroeder ?
Sitting on the grass - far left is Mark Hopkins. Also guessing that the 3 between Dallin and Morris are Leighton Harvey. Mark Gray and Anthony James - but I don't know which is which.

Colin_swansea

No, wrong about the keeper Jeff.
Mark Grey and Anthony James are wrong, sorry

Malc

Come on Colin , just tell us who they all are , recognise  2 but can't  remember their names ,

Is the keeper Fredricksen ?

Well done Niall. I did think a young Robbie James was Jeff Griffiths but Griffiths arrived 12 months later

Colin_swansea

Can you name the four young professionals with coach Jimmy Rimmer.

Arch_Stanton

? , Nigel French, Andy Melville, Keri Andrews

Malc

Maybe Jimmy  Loveridge  , agree with others

Colin_swansea

It's not Loveridge and the other three are correct.

Malc

Maybe Paul Burrows  ,  not sure

looks like Bob Geldof to me 

niallo11

I believe the youngster on the left is Wayne Elsey.

Here's a first team photo from the same era, start of 1985/6.

Malc

Tommy Hutchinson  , Evans,  Nigel Stevenson  , Mike Hughes , Dudley Lewis , Paul Price ,
Colin Pascoe , Colin Sullivan  , Chris Marustik , Keri Andrews  ,Ian Love 

Pretty sure on 9 or 10  of them

You’re right with the majority there, Malc.  Not Evans & not Ian Love, though.

Malc

Maybe Ian Davies and Robin Turner

Robin Turner’s right.

The last fella was a new signing who didn’t play often for the Swans, although he’d featured in an FA Cup Final only a year or so earlier.
