Since Swansea City football club came into existence in 1912, originally as Swansea Town, hundreds of players have played in the famous shirt.
Therefore, we thought it would be a great idea to create a player profile for each and every one of those players! Now that’s a mammoth task as you can imagine, so we decided to do the profiles as and when a player celebrates their birthday or would have in the case that they are sadly no longer with us.
A lot of the information on each player wouldn’t have been possible without the use of the ‘Swansea Town/City Players A-Y’ book written by Colin Jones and is reproduced with the kind permission of Colin himself.
Here is a list of each player profile in surname order, with the time of their Swans career in the brackets.
