    Pre-1960 - Swans scoring a penalty in front of the Double Decker Stand. North Bank roof was erected in 1960.

    Anyone recognise this Jack B*stard: the photo is from from 43 years ago?

    Not a player, not a Manager - but someone who is well known to all the Jack Army.

    Brian Hughes played in the same Neath Schoolboys side as my father’s younger brother.

    I ended up on that floodlight for the 2nd half of the Arsenal game. The 1st half was spent on a painful corrugated iron fence.
    We were robbed :emoticon-0100-smile
    I've never liked Bobby Gould since.

    From memory, didn’t Herbie out jump Ian Ure and Keith Todd knocked the ball in, only for the ref to penalise Herbie?

    Swans’ team that:
    Dil John, Roy Evans, Vic Gomersall, Herbie Williams, Brian Purcell, Davis, Willie Humphries, Ivor Allchurch, Keith Todd, Willie Screen, and Brian Evans.

    Up to that date, it was only the 3rd time that the Swans had played Arsenal in the FA Cup - Ivor had played in the 1950 cup tie 18 years earlier! What a legend - my favourite all time Swan <cheers>
