Possibly the in between years of Trevor Morris /Glyn Davies. Was it Walter Robbins caretaker at one time?
 
Harry Griffiths, vaguely remember him resigning, tosh taking over and harry becoming his assistant until his sad untimely death.

A jack legend, simple as.
 
Roy Bentley when I started going regular, although I was taken to a game by my dad when I was a small kid, barely remember anything of the game or even who the opposition was, would have been Trevor Morris or Glyn Davies I assume at that time.

Harry Griffiths for me
 
Hollins technically for me but I remember more of the Cusack/Flynn days
Jackett was manager for my first match

Same here FB
 
Jan Molby for me… and he scored in the first game I went to.

Swansea 1-0 Leyton Orient - Peter Shilton in goals for Orient
 
Yorath. but only for a short while before being very swiftly replaced by the legend that is Frank Burrows.

Same here.

It’s quite crazy (or maybe not in the modern game) that we haven’t had a single manager for 4 years on the trot since Burrows left in 95...saying that, we’ve always been sporadic with managers.
 
Bentley. My first games were reserve matches. One where Charlie George was playing got a bigger crowd than the first team. (I’m exaggerating …I think…I hope).
