John Hollins was relieved of his managerial duties 20 years ago today.
I absolutely loved that era.
Anyone fancy a few ‘boring’ 1-0 wins to win the title this season?
Probably not with today’s precious lot.
 
Hollins was alright, did a job. Those were the days you could go to a shithole like Millmoor anc have have a chat with him whilst he carried the kit to the bus. I was telling my youngest as we walked down yesterday what those days were like, and that I’d waited a lifetime to see the Swans back in the top two divisions. Great times.
