Back on 7 November 2009, we played Cardiff at the Liberty.

I had 4 tickets for Wales v New Zealand in Cardiff.

The Swans were on TV first so my mate & I went into the Queens Vaults on Westgate Street fit a few bevvies and to watch the match.

As you can imagine, it was roofed on International day!

We went 2-0 and managed to contain our emotions. Then the Blueturds pulled it back to 2-2.

When Pratley made it 3-2 my mate & I jumped up and shouted ‘Yeeessss!’ - the whole pub went quiet .....

Just after the whistle a gang of lads came over and said ‘Bloody hell lads, you’re either braver or more stupid than us!” They were Swans fans from the Ferry <laugh>

Struggles make you stronger and the changes make you wiser and happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time. We have had a lot of both over the years

You can't really appreciate the highs without knowing the lows. We had a good run compared to many other clubs who've not experienced that. I would like to do it again though :grin: Post-yanks would be a good place to start!

Cork - who was 25 years of age at the time - signed a three and a half year deal.
