Yes I think we went 2 up fairly early on Watford who also got promotion that season came back into the game and it was 2-2 until Curtis headed the winner. | | | |

1978 1979 season
Swansea 4 Rotherham 4
Swansea 4 Tranmere 3
The games were in the same week and I recall us being down 1-4 v Rotherham and came back to draw 4-4 then were down 1-3 v Tranmere and came back to win 4-3. (Both incredibly exciting games)
1980 1981 Promotion season to League 1
Bristol Rovers 1 Swansea 2
I remember us needing that away win right at the end of the season | | | |

1983/1984
Boxing Day game
Cardiff City 3 Swansea City 2
I remember this game because of Toshack's goal where he started off from half way line and kept going and going - eventually scoring.
I think we took the lead but then Cardiff came back and won the game.
(I also remember Toshack back heeling in a goal in one game as well. Anyone remember that one? | | | |

Oldham away first game of the season under Roberto, lost 2-1, but we saw us play the 'Swansea Way' for the first time, a real eye-opener for anyone who was there that day (whatever happened to the 'Swansea Way' of playing....). I always think back to that game.
Preston obviously
Hull obviously
Loads more (all the other obvious ones and lots of those mentioned above), but those 3 always immediately come to mind without having to think too hard |  |
| Oh,..Dave, what's occuring? |

My son was with me that day, we walked away from that fame thinking, this is going to be a good season, everyone did.

One of my personal faves was beating Peterborough 3-2 away on boxing day after being 2 nil down half time, had a mate with me who'd never been to a footie match before and was seriously in to rugby, by the time we scored the 3 goal he was going kin mental lol |  |

I know exactly what you mean after that Oldham game. I went home and put £50 e/w on us to go up at 20/1. I was so confident. Never done that before or since! Had to wait to get paid out at the end of the season til they settled the Leeds points deduction case (we would have finished above them anyway with their points back but the bookies weren't having it until the FA ruled on it). Remember the Oldham manager saying at the end of the game whoever finished above us that season would go up. No-one did! | |

Mid 80's
Wigan away - Thunderstorm .. then a snow storm , the away end became a muddy grass bank , lost 5-0 then beaten up by Wigan fans then our train broke down on the way back to Euston.
Peterboro away on new years day - long trip 0-2 down at halftime and won 3-2 and the away terrace went mental
Luton away - Savarase hatrick and the burning Welsh flag incident lost 5-3 but should have been 10-10 | | | |

First Game like Jacanapes Swansea 0 Exeter City 3 got me hooked 1975-76
Preston away 3-1 fpr Promotion.
Leeds home the 5-1 win First Division
Beating Man Utd 2-0 at the Vetch
Beating Bradford away 6-4
So many to choose from, as someone said 1-4 down to Rotherham drew 4-4 and Robbie James smashed the ball over the bar ftom six yards, last minute could have won 5-4
Losing 5-0 to Boro at home in the FA cup when we battered them and they score 3 break away goals LOL
Hartlepool at home 8-0 my sister and cousins first ever game that got them hooked  |  |
| Swansea City, my one and only love , oh and then there's the Wife |

Can't really pick three out but will agree with a lot of the old timers on stuff after 76/77 when I first went down the vetch .
About the Oldham game I actually phoned my father on the way out and told him not to worry about the result , "we're going to walk the league anyway". That's the best I've ever felt after watching a game we've lost in. Loads of Oldham fans were saying to us on the way out "how the f did you lose that?". Apart from the treachery I'll always thank RM for those experiences , what an amazing side we were for division 3! |  |
