Trunds – “If you win you are a legend for the rest of your life”

Lee Trundle has challenged the current Swans team to become legends for the rest of their lives when they step out at Wembley on Saturday for the Championship Play-Off final against Brentford.

The Swans go into the richest game in football potentially just ninety minutes away from a return to the Premier League after a three year absence and having spent most of the season in and around the top of the table.

After losing out to Brentford in the semi-final stage of the play-offs last season revenge could be on the menu although Brentford will be keen not to suffer the pain of two final defeats in the row as they try and reach the Premier League for the first time.

We all know which mast Trundle’s colours are nailed to but he also knows from his playing days just how big these days are – he was a player when Bristol City lost the very same final against Hull.

Speaking ahead of the game, LT10 saidย โ€œAt the start of the season, weโ€™d have bitten your hand off for this.

โ€œWith the money weโ€™ve spent and the squad we have, just getting into the play-offs would have been a massive achievement. But to get to the play-off final, the gaffer and his staff have been unbelievable.

โ€œIf you look at the quality, determination and desire of the lads, itโ€™s been great all season. Youโ€™ll have your bad patches at times and players will go through different sorts of form but over the whole season, you canโ€™t fault any of them.

โ€œItโ€™s a cup final and the best way to go up. Anything can happen and if enough of the lads turn up on the day, weโ€™ve got enough and weโ€™re capable of getting the win.

โ€œItโ€™ll probably be the biggest game a lot of them have played in. But itโ€™s just about going out there, enjoying it, giving their best and hopefully, thatโ€™s enough to get us into the Premier League.

โ€œOnce you achieve a promotion with this club, youโ€™re never forgotten about and thatโ€™s a massive thing to have in your mind going into these games.

โ€œIf you win, youโ€™re a legend for the rest of your life and Iโ€™m hoping thatโ€™s what happens.โ€
