Alan Tate

Sadly FA are 'looking into it'.

Not surprising how Quest repeated it about 20 times. Fair play to the Birmingham manager who along with Cooper said they didn't see it.

He was unprofessional as a player and appears to be unprofessional as a coach. In other news, grass is green. Hopefully he is replaced by somebody who can serve as a better role model for the younger players in the club.

In what way was he unprofessional as a player? :?: :?: :?:

I tend not not to read/reply to your posts as I find you a tedious t wat who has no idea what it’s really like to be a real Swans fan.

Alan Tate was never the most gifted footballer but he always gave 110% to my football club, the type bloke I want to be in the trenches with.

I’m very happy we have someone so passionate still involved at the club.

Never understood the comments that Tatey was not a gifted player.
He was on Man Utd's books. Won MOM on his first appearance for us.
Comfortable on the ball he was an intelligent defender. Held us together during the 'only ten men' match at Forest.
Moved up the leagues effortlessly with us. Had the ability to play in may positions including goalkeeper and his Prem League career was only undone by a golf buggy.

Captained Man U reserves.

Dear me, is that really the best you can do? Pfft, I'm guessing you weren't there then?

Iirc, did he not also captain the team on our first ever appearance in the Prem?

It's one of those things that's been repeated so often a lot of people can't help joining in, even though it's obvious bollocks.

You're right of course. Tate had plenty of technical ability which is one of the reasons why he was so adaptable as a player, perhaps to his detriment in the long run. If he'd settled into one position and stuck there he might have become a better player in that one position, but our squad would have been weaker as a result.

He seamlessly adapted his game to suit the needs of a numerous managers and rarely looked out of place under any of them. I don't know if he'd have taken to the Prem as well but I wouldn't rule the possibility out given his time again.

When Bryan Flynn went to Manchester to try and sign him ... Alan Tate said it was Ryan Giggs who advised him that it was a good move to go and play some first-team football at Swansea.

The rest is history!!

If I thought that Tatey may be hard up, I would suggest setting up a fund to pay his fine.
