The Premier Information Site for Swansea City Football Club
Manager for a week but it seems like a lifetime because so much has happened in the past seven days. Two matches, my first signing and now planning for Sunday’s derby at Cardiff. Never a dull moment in football and that’s the way it should be. Winning at Doncaster was a huge relief for everyone …
Perhaps it was always expecting a little too much of Jan Molby to live up to the headline which proclaimed his arrival from Liverpool 19 months ago. The new Tosh was splashed across the Post where his widely-read column appeared once a week. There was good reason, and while the banner headline was accompanied by …
Swansea have sacked player-manager Jan Molby just two months into the football season. This morning Molby’s Vetch Field office was empty as the former Denmark and Liverpool midfielder confirmed in an exclusive interview with the Evening Post that he had been dismissed by the club’s new owners. A statement by Neil McClure, the Swansea vice-chairman …

As you have probably noticed on these pages, I recently had the honour of training with the Swans for two weeks. I think the fact that I was able to come to Swansea and participate in a trial with the team really shows the power of the Internet. Thanks to Gary’s information on these pages, …
League Division Three – Chester City 0 Swansea City 0 – Sunday 11th May, 1997 Match Report by Richard Major.

About 200 Swansea fans travelled to Colchester for this Friday night game which, after last Saturday’s result, was a surprise in itself. Sadly, …
League Division Three – Barnet 0 Swansea City 1 – Saturday 15th March, 1997. Match Report by Jeremy Kivell I’m normally very worried when we have a defender making his debut in a league match. Remember Mark Harris’s first game for Swansea? Yesterday, I needn’t have worried, as Swansea overcame a Barnet side lacking in …
League Division Three – Northampton Town 1 Swansea City 2 – Saturday 8th February, 1997. Match Report By Richard Major. Northampton have a nice enough ground, but sadly its stuck in the middle of nowhere which means that you just HAVE to go to the pub if you turn up early as there’s nothing else …
League Division Three – Swansea City 1 Leyton Orient 0 – Saturday 18th January, 1997. Jeremy Kivell has written this match report. I almost didn’t go to this game, but for once in my life, I think I made the correct decision. Swansea stuck with the same team that beat the Barnet Cinderellas in mid-week. …
