Once the hero of Swansea City, Lee Trundle continues to play the beautiful game for local side Ammanford AFC, located above the Amman Valley in the Welsh county of Carmarthenshire. Now aged 43, the once household name of British football, Trundle is onto the 18th club of his 25-year-long career. But, Ammanford isn't exactly a football-fanatic town. In fact, deep within Carmarthen's rugby heartlands, the 800-strong crowds that the Recreation Ground boasts on most weekends is impressive.  Ammanford AFC's Recreation Ground Of course, Trundle's move in 2019 may w ..read more

Eight years ago, a Spanish footballer by the name of Miguel Perez Cuesta - or Michu for short - arrived on the shores of south Wales. The rest, they say, is history. Going into the 2012-13 Premier League season and Swansea City were tipped to struggle; following an impressive debut season in the top flight, head coach Brendan Rodgers had been snapped up by Liverpool along with Joe Allen, whilst loan star Gylfi Sigurdsson had left for Tottenham. Gylfi Sigurdsson's move to Tottenham was labelled a disaster by many Swansea fans. The appointment of former Danish midfielder Michael Laudrup wa ..read more

Five games without a win and Swansea sit 11th in the Championship table, dangerously close to being pushed out of the promotion-chasing pack. The Swans' draw to Hull City at the weekend outlined defensive frailties as Steve Cooper's men conceded four goals in a thrilling 4-4 stalemate at the KCOM Stadium. Swansea and Hull played out an entertaining 4-4 draw. A lot of things to work on Swansea's league position - 11th - is hardly where Cooper and his players thought they would be five games ago. But, having failed to win in five games, the Swans have slipped down the table and almost ..read more

Sam Clucas celebrated in front of the Swansea fans. Swansea City missed the opportunity to return to the play-offs with an uninspiring display as Stoke City ease their relegation fears. Damp squib Following two wins from their last three games the Swans headed to the Britannia Stadium in good form and in good spirits. But, goals from former Swan Sam Clucas - who made his joy known - and a 91st minute James McLean strike made this eight-hour round trip one to forget. A Stoke hoodoo It seems almost remarkable, but Swansea haven't won away at Stoke since March 2001 - both sides were ..read more

Going to support your football team is one of the most joyous events for any fan. So, why should a professional footballer be treated any differently? That's the question that has been asked consistently ever since Sheffield United's Oli McBurnie was "reminded" of his responsibilities by the FA following his appearance on camera allegedly making an obscene gesture whilst watching Swansea City. McBurnie, of course, spent four years with the Swans before moving to Premier League promoted side Sheffield United. Oli McBurnie pictured here in the Swansea crowd against Cardiff. Hardly an ..read more

Swansea City travel to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in this round 29 Championship clash. Previous form and league position Both sides go into this one in reasonable runs of form with Stoke not having lost in three games and Swansea with no loss in four. Their league positions, however, could not be more different as the Welsh side sit just one place and one point outside the top six whilst the Potters lie four points above the drop zone in 21st. Previous head-to-head Swansea do not have a good record against Stoke with just one win in their last five meetings. The Swans also failed t ..read more

Wind the clock back to this time last year and Swansea were in a pickle; the loss of Wilfried Bony, Tom Carroll and Jefferson Montero without replacements hit the club hard, and, it could have been even worse had Daniel James and Leroy Fer completed their respective would-be moves. Yet, 2020 has seen the Swans resurge; Rhian Brewster, Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi have added some much-needed impetus to the Welsh side. Hopeful of achieving promotion in his first season with the Swans, Steve Cooper has acted rather than reacted to what could have been a problem. Marc Guehi celebrating h ..read more

Ben Cabango made his full league debut Swansea still haven't won in six games, but they came close against Blackburn as Danny Graham's opener was cancelled out by Andre Ayew as the two sides fought hard for a 1-1 draw. Switching things up Swans head coach Steve Cooper made four changes from the side that was comprehensively beaten by West Brom last weekend with Ben Cabango making his full league debut alongside Tom Carroll, Bersant Celina and Jake Bidwell. The Welsh side, however, seemed to pick up where they left off against the Baggies, conceding in the fourth minute to a Danny ..read more

Swansea City host Blackburn Rovers at the Liberty Stadium in this round 21 Championship clash. Previous form and league position With Swansea's 100% away record coming to an end in a 5-1 thrashing by West Brom, the Welsh side will be aiming to get back on the horse after just two wins in ten games. Blackburn, meanwhile, are on a four-match winning run and now sit just above (10th) the Swans (11th) on points difference in the table. Swansea appeared hapless against promotion hopefuls West Brom. Whilst Tony Mowbray's men will be looking to add their fifth win in succession, Swansea ..read more

Before last weekend, Swansea were the only side in the Championship boasting a 100% away record. Fast forward to Sunday evening and the Swans were licking their wounds after promotion-favourites West Brom heaped more misery on the Welsh side with a 5-1 drubbing. Swansea have won just twice in ten games, falling out of the play-off spots and down to 11th in the process. The contrast between the two sides could not have been starker as the Baggies taught Swansea a footballing lesson. A Sam Surridge goal six minutes before half-time made it 2-1 before a Hal Robson-Kanu goal on 44 minutes resto ..read more
