Sad to report that Graham 'Flicka' Williams has passed away at the age of 81. He was a left winger and played for the Swans in the early sixties. Short and stocky, he was very quick with a bag full of tricks and was very popular with the fans. His former manager, Trevor Morris, is quoted as saying of him: " Some of Flicka's team-mates used to complain that they never knew what he would do with the ball. If they felt like that training with him every day, then what chance does the oppostion have?"
In a 14 year career, Wrexham born Flicka was capped 5 times and scored 47 league goals. His son, Phil, said, "Some of my father's happiest times as a footballer were at Swansea. He always said that the fans were fantastic with him and the family would like to thank everyone for their kindness."
A racehorse named after him, 'Son of Flicka' won the Coral Cup at Cheltenham in 2012.
RIP, Flicka, thanks for the great memories
and sincere condolences to family and friends.
