I have to be honest i saw this on another forum and thought it was a good thread. Here is to collegues and family of you all, who would have been at this famous game apart from their sad parting. So, i will start with my mate Tony Jones, who died on november 27th 2012 from cancer. I know he would have been proud of the Swans and would have been at the game with his 2 boys. Sure he will be watching somewhere.
Mike Sullivan, true gent who followed the Swans for years and died just before the Play off final ,How proud he would be right now.
My dad who introduced me to the Swans back in the sixties, would be amazed and proud of how far we have come since those days at the Vetch.
I lost my Uncle and my cousin in the last 6 months and i know they would have been proud of the Swans getting to Wembley, my cousin lived in cardiff for 30 odd years and always told em he was a Jack Bast&rd and admits he used to get plenty of stick off his mates at the Darts evenings,pub and in work. Im sure if he was still here he would have been rubbing their noses in it and enjoying the bragging rights !!
Sorry for your recent losses NJ. Best wishes to all your family. My mum, who was a Swan, who was murdered back in 1997. She would be so proud of our team now.
Thanks Chico,same to you . this is a very sweet thread actually and there is no doubt every single one of us can think of somebody close that would have been proud of the team and acheivement of the club. Im drinking a bottle of Tuborg and keeping an eye on my food (curry night tonight and im in charge of the kitchen!) Lets raise a Glass to all Absent Friends and family,gone but never forgotten !
To my life long friend and season ticket holder John Spooner, who passed away at the age of 62, the season before we went up, how he would have relished where we are now, R.I.P John boy!.......................
Some people in my life who have passed away because of cancer, and as 1 in 3 people are touched by cancer it's one of the charities I give very generously too. My grandfather My grandmother My father in law A close family friend 3 former work colleagues
Bony can I ask is this Mike who used to own Steak by Night with Mr Mann ? Very sad if it is the same guy as I liked him and was very kind to me quite a few times
