The Best 5 Strikers in Swansea City History

There was some interesting discussion on Twitter last weekend around who would make the Top 5 list of strikers in Swans history. It provoked Jackbot to thin

No Bob Latchford?

Are you insane?

 

[Captain_Sham]

Bob Latchford? Alan Curtis? What fking kind if a list is this?

Who ever is running this account should stop with the crack.

Trundle over Latchford and Curtis

Trundle will always be a Swans legend, but let’s be honest. League 1 was his level, never did it in the championship, let alone Premier League

As a club, we have spent a lot of time in the lower two tiers. You can't discount a player just because of that.

Couple that with the fact he virtually single handedly revived interest in the club at a time where it was tanking, Trundle has to be in the top 5, simple as that.

Whoever wrote this is presumably only including players that they saw. That’s fair enough but it doesn’t mean the best in history.
Ivor Allchurch scored 166 goals for goodness sake, I saw the last few of those but to exclude him is plainly ridiculous.

Yarp.....top scorer at 38 yrs old 18 i think. then Gwyther after him.

I said the boxing term ‘pound for pound’ on Twitter this week in regards of what this article refers to.
It’s unlikely most of the imbeciles would understand though.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Tommy Mutton!

 

[exiledclaseboy]

This is what happens when you let AI loose.

 

[JackSomething]

It needs to be programmed on what a striker is, seeing it has two players who weren't strikers in the list.

 

[Vetchonian]

The "X" generation would not have seen the likes of Ivor,Gwyther,Waddle and Latchford .
Latchbwas especially great abd didnt he get his highest goal tally in the season we were relegated from the old First Division?

there was Eddie Thomas , Keith Todd in thir time were top guys for the swans but as others have said Ivor Allchurch right up there with all the modern day lads
