Swansea City will play Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup Third Round

[Bog roll]

I remember watching the 1991 FA Cup Final when the amazingly talented, but incredibly stupid Gazza completely lost his head. If he hadn’t suffered that horrendous injury (of his own doing) he would have ended up being sent off. The ref should have sent him off after the first awful challenge (below). This day and age he would have gone. We will never know what the final match result could have been?

The ref admitted afterwards. , that he was going to send him off after both challengers, et bottled it because he felt sorry for him. Him going off changed that game, as Stewart came on and had the game of his life. Heartbreak for Clough, the one trophy that eluded him, before his demise into drink.

I remember my first visit to Swansea when I was about to leave school. Leighton James was one of my favourite footballers ever. So glad to see him play at your place.

Leighton James was a good man and was an acquaintance of mine here in Gorseinon. He ran the local rugby club bar for a while. He was also fondly known for being the lollipop man at a local school. A brilliant footballer I was told, he was just before my time. Loved at the Swans and at Burnley. Passed away a year back. RIP Leighton.
