Too far back in time to include Cliff Jones but had he been eligible would have been one of the first names on the team sheet. Younger posters will have read about him but seen very little, if anything, of this incredible player. In my opinion, running with the ball he was probably quicker than anyone in the game today - in fact, one of the quickest ever. He was the epitome of a goal scoring winger and, for his height of about 5ft 7", was lethal in the air. You can get a glimpse of this in the following video and, interestingly, another ex Swans' player, Terry Medwin also scores. Funny to note that he was good enough to play on Spurs' wing (a double winning side) but not good enough to play #7 for the Swans because we had Lenny Allchurch there.
Terry had to play centre foward for us and he was pretty good there too.
I wince when I see the state of the pitches they had to play on in those days and the poor spectators had it pretty rough as well having to stand in the open in all weathers. You had to be tough and love your football to be a fan in those days. I was both.
