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 …
Football League Division Three – Cardiff City 0 Swansea City 0 Plenty of muscle, but a shortage of fizz, in a rumbustious Welsh showdown at Ninian Park. After an untidy first half, it was The Bluebirds who so nearly stole it, with 39-goal front-men Williams and Nugent chucking away a glut of opportunities. Cardiff boss, …

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.
