POSTER PROFILE – Exiledclaseboy Andrew St. John Cude-Smythe to give him his full title, was born in a five bedroom detached home in the Mayals in 1970. A privileged child, Andrew attended Dumbarton Prep School, and then Olchfa. A career as a high flying Barrister, Doctor or Corporate Raider seemed assured, until a chance encounter with local Socialist Svengali and used bread dealer Ronnie Coalminer in Bentleys one night altered his worldview forever. Shunning the trappings of wealth he had come to know, our hero spent the next ten years reinventing himself as a class warrior and Trade Unionist, selecting quite possibly the most working class area of the city as his new official “home”. Naturally, after a childhood of Gymkhanas and tea and tiffin, he didn’t want to actually live there, oh no. He devised for himself a backstory of how he was from Clase, but had moved away from the area to the relative prosperity of Fforestfach. It was enough to deter all but the most inquisitive of questioners. He then took a post at the DVLA that his uncle Algy arranged for him, and settled in to a comfortable life of middle management and striking.(see image right for an early strike by Andrew) In order to complete his metamorphosis, Andrew then decided to take an interest in the most proletarian sport he could find. A lifelong cricket fan, he was overjoyed to find that the local team occasionally played games in the area. However it wasn’t quite common enough. Rugby too was populated with accountants and architects, many of whom he had attended school with. Finally, after further consultations with Mr. Coalminer, Andrew decided to chance his arm at football. A rainy midweek game at home to Oxford was the first match he ever attended at the Vetch, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that one would have to join a large queue for even the most basic half time goodies, and the Communist vibes were just too good to ignore. After a major scary moment when he almost blew his cover by confusing mushy peas with avocado mousse, he gradually got the hang of football, and found himself enjoying it so much he decided to see if he could find any more information about the game on the “new-fangled internet”. A search for “Swansea City” and “working class” in Google soon brought up a few usernames from Jackarmy.net, and young Andrew was hooked. He enjoyed the mix between “jolly banter with the chaps” and the innovation of the Friday Night Club, where he could practice his working classity to his hearts content. The rest, as they say, is history. Favourite food – Fillet migno….
