He mentioned the Man Utd game that raised £40k. I remember Alan Brazil was playing for them and he seemd SO fast. It was a great gesture by Utd.

I have been trying to think of any other teams who have repeated our 4th to 1st to 4th magical mystery tour over 9 years. I cant think of any. Luton have gone all the way down and back up again but that was over 30 years.

Northampton 1961 to 1970 went from 4th to first to 4th again.

“Swans - It’s the end”

That Evening Post front page will never leave me.

What those times do though is give you a wildly different perspective to fans who’ve never really seen the swans be anything other than relatively successful.
