HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
SUPPORTING THE SWANS? 20 years.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST SWANS GAME
YOU ATTENDED? It was against
Northampton Town at Vetch Field in
1997.
WHY DID YOU START SUPPORTING
THE SWANS? I was born a Jack!
WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE
SWANS MOMENT? There have been
so many now, but the one that
stands out for me was the 3-0 win
over Valencia in the Europa League.
It was such a great experience
travelling to Spain with my best mate
to watch the Swans.
WHAT IS THE BEST GAME YOU’VE
SEEN AT THE VETCH/LIBERTY? That
would have to be when we turned
Manchester United over to win 2-1 in
2015.
WHAT IS THE BEST GOAL YOU’VE
SEEN AT THE VETCH/LIBERTY?
Gylfi Sigurdsson’s free-kick
against Arsenal in 2014.
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE
GREATEST SACRIFICE YOU
HAVE MADE TO WATCH
THE SWANS? From 2009
to 2012, I was at
university in Liverpool. I
couldn’t attend every
home match, but I
regularly drove to
Swansea and back to
watch the games. Also,
attending a lot of games up
north with the Swans was a
bonus.
DESCRIBE TO US YOUR TYPICAL
PRE-MATCH RITUAL? I’ve had a
season ticket for over 10 years now. I
drive an hour from Llantwit Major to
the Liberty, get some chips and go
straight in for the game.
WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE SWANS
PLAYER OF ALL TIME, AND WHY?
Lee Trundle – the magic man
himself. The best goal ever scored at
the Millennium Stadium was his
against Carlisle in the Football
League Trophy final. On the edge of
the box, he controls with his
shoulder and volleys into the top
right corner – what a goal!
WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE CURRENT
PLAYER, AND WHY? It would have to
be Alfie Mawson because he shows
full commitment from start to finish,
and I believe there’s a lot more to
come from him.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE
SWANS KIT FROM OVER THE YEARS?
Our home kit that we wore in the
Europa League with the Adidas
sponsor.
IF YOU COULD SIGN ONE PLAYER
FOR THE CLUB, WHO WOULD IT BE?
Neymar.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST
DISAPPOINTING MOMENT WATCHING
THE CLUB?Our slow start to this
season has not been easy to watch. I
also don’t like it if the fans aren’t
behind the team. We play best when
that East Stand is strong.
WHAT MAKES SWANSEA CITY
SPECIAL TO YOU?It’s my hometown
club and the fans are special here.
They genuinely love the club and that
stadium is always filled with Jacks.
