TheFA cup game in February against hull cost us massively that season.
Dudley Lewis god bless him broke his leg from a Frankie Bunn challenge
Up until then we were riding high and defensively sound
His absence was the catalyst for a remarkable collapse

RIP

Anyone see Richard Keys’ tweet about it? Warra knob.

Sad to hear the news of Terry Yorath’s passing. He was a warrior & won fans over wherever he played. He was great for us at Coventry & the reason I got Gabby a job at Sky. I had no idea who she was when we met but I knew her dad,

Such sad news. To play in that famous Leeds Utd side, you had to be very good, and he was. A great servant for Welsh football and SCFC.
He was also someone you could talk to.
He and Tommy Hutchinson would come into the back bar at Clyne golf club, for a game of snooker, and would always be very courteous to anyone who talked to him.
My condolences to all his family and friends. RIP

Richard Keys. Once a c**t, always a c**t.

And a massive racist...

Another reminder for me as one of the more 'long in the tooth' occasional posters,of the much more basic days at SCFC.
At a time when it was for me, as a local, easier to relate to the Club,but was even more difficult than now for the club to survive,let alone have success,Terry Yorath played a significant part in the club's history while being highly thought of by all who came into contact with him.
Sad news indeed ,he was too young and had more than enough tragedy to cope with.

Really sad news, his time here was before my time but always seemed like a top bloke, RIP.



Had a quick look and looks like he made one appearance for us which was the Wolves game!

Team that day was:

1. Michael Hughes
2. Christopher Harrison
3. Terence Phelan
4. David Hough
5. Nigel Stevenson
6. Gary Emmanuel
7. Terence Yorath
8. Sean McCarthy
9. Stephen Kean (12. Nigel French)
10. Colin Pascoe
11. Thomas Hutchison

Yes i noticed he played a game for us? Did he initially join as a player manager or was there any injury crisis etc?

I vaguely remember that. Injury crisis I believe.

From what I remember he came in as manager ,
Injuries saw him make his 1 appearance .

Sad news indeed. Condolences to all his family and friends.

He was the manager when I was in my last couple of years at School, which was really exciting for me as he lived in Leeds as do I (there wasn't many Swansea fans at my school) and one of my classmates was going out with a girl called Gabby Yorath who was at one of the other Catholic schools in Leeds.

My understanding at the time was that he was a top guy.

Sadly not long after that there was the tragedy of his son dying whilst they were playing football in the garden. I think that affected his managerial career but hid did have a long career as a coach (I think he was at Huddersfield and Bradford as a coach a few times possible as assitant to Peter Jackson).

Not too sure about his playing career at Leeds but he would have played many more games if it hadn't been for Bemner and Giles being his main competition for a starting place.

A (Leeds-based) mate said he last saw him a couple of years ago, drinking alone and looking in a pretty poor state.

I can't bear to imagine the pain of losing a child, and the knock-on impact on one's marriage.
