Last Updated on April 2, 2020.    Published on April 1, 2015 by Swans Info.   

Frank Lampard - Swansea City

Some Swans fans might think that this is just another April Fool’s day wind-up but I can assure you it’s not – former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard (now manager of Chelsea) did indeed play for the Swans! Aged just 17, Lampard Jnr joined the Swans on loan from West Ham United in October […]

Chris Coleman - Wales

Having just made history by guiding Wales to Euro 2016 Qualification, we thought that now would be a great time to look back at Swans old boy Chris Coleman. Townhill product Coleman, started his football career as a YTS trainee with Manchester City in the summer of 1986, but after failing to settle in Lancashire, […]

Alan Waddle - Swansea City

Older Swansea fans (like me!) will be familiar with the name of Alan Waddle, who scored 34 goals in 90 appearances for the Swans over two spells at the club during the late seventies and mid-eighties. A cousin of ex-England wing Chris Waddle, the Wallsend Boys Club product was a team-mate of John Toshack in […]

Blast from the Past – Giovanni Savarese

Last Updated on May 6, 2015.    Published on May 6, 2015 by Swans Info.   

Giovanni Savarese - Swansea City

I can’t recall many Venezuelan’s who have worn the white of Swansea City but there is one whom I will never forget – Giovanni Savarese. As the Swans struggled in Nationwide League Division Two, John Hollins pulled a right old rabbit out of the hat when he signed Venezuelan international striker Savarese in October 2000 […]

Very few Swansea City fans will not be familiar with the name of Ferrie Bodde. The Dutch midfielder joined the Swans for £50,000 in June 2007 from from Dutch Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag and was to be a key acquisition for Roberto Martinez’s side. The signing also strengthened the bond between fans of the […]

Swansea City 1986-1987

Swans fans who can remember Terry Yorath being the gaffer might well recall a young left back being signed from Leeds United by the Swans in July 1986 – a certain Terry Phelan. After making his debut at the Vetch Field against Stockport County in August 1986, Phelan went on to form an effective partnership […]

Blast from the Past – Bob Latchford

Last Updated on April 8, 2015.    Published on April 15, 2015 by Swans Info.   

Bob Latchford - Swansea City

Older Swans fans will no doubt remember Bob Latchford with fond memories. Signed from Everton in July 1981 for £125,000, the experienced and prolific centre-forward was John Toshack’s final signing prior to the Swans’ first season in the then top flight – the First Division. Signing a centre-forward of Latchfords’ quality was a real coup […]

Blast from the Past – Darren Pratley

Last Updated on April 8, 2015.    Published on April 8, 2015 by Swans Info.   

Darren Pratley

The first time I witnessed Darren Pratley in action was for Brentford against the Swans in the 2005/06 League One Semi-Final Play-Offs both at the Liberty and Griffin Park, where he immediately impressed me with his tenacity and energetic work rate in midfield. Little did I think at the time that come June that same […]

Swans players of the past and with Wales playing Israel in an Euro 2016 Qualifier on Saturday, what better place to start than former Swans centre forward Itay Shechter!
