Former Swansea City manager Brian Flynn is returning to the club as a scout.

Flynn, 61, was the Swansea boss who masterminded the club retaining their Football League status on the last day of the 2002-03 season.

He has since worked with the Wales age-grade teams and was caretaker boss of the senior side for two games.

During eight years in charge of the Wales under-21s, Flynn oversaw the progression of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Wayne Hennessey.

Several of the youngsters went on to form the nucleus of Chris Coleman's Euro 2016 semi-finalists.

Flynn, who played for Wales 66-times, was a firm favourite at the Vetch Field and cemented his legacy when they retained their Football League status on the final day of the 2003 campaign with a 4-2 win over Hull City.

Port Talbot-born Flynn, who played for Burnley, Leeds United and Cardiff City, has also managed Wrexham and Doncaster Rovers

Nice to see we're trying to corner the market in talented young players from the North West Lancashire area.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I'm quite happy with this appointment to be honest. And he won't be required to be in Swansea much so it will suit him.

My footballing claim to fame is that I once played against him in the massive Port Talbot derby match - Glanafan Comprehensive vs Sandfields Comprehensive.

History doesn't record the result.

There's no denying Flynn and Reeves signed us some gems but that was the 4th division and this is the PL. I just don't see it myself.

That's a derby that no longer exists.

I played alongside Larry Lloyd who played for England and won a European Cup winners medal with Forest, in our County youth team. (I think he's still alive!)

Great news. Knows a talented player when he sees one. And great to have him back with Swansea City. The man who signed Trundle Tate Martinez Britton Robinson all players who went onto become SCFC legends and who did most to get our club moving forwards on the pitch. Chuffed.

T'was him that Brian Clough came out with the immortal line about, when guesting as a punter on TV coverage of Larry Lloyd's England debut.

It was against Wales in the home internationals, we thrashed them 4-0 or 4-1 and Lloyd was given a real run around.

Clough, when asked to comment on Lloyd's performance, said "Larry's the only player to have won two caps in one international match - his first, and his last!".

I had a kickabout in Singleton Park and headed past Steve Potter.

There were only 4 of us though!

It's not great really.

Happy to see this, rate Flynn as a scout. Hope he's kept up to date w/ the game at the highest level though.

Have played against Emyr Huws in youth football, thought his name was enigmatically just "M" as that was what his team kept calling him. He was f*cking quality to be fair, scored all 5 against us in a 5-0 loss.

The move to Man City stalled his progression IMO.

I'm not sure whether it was that tbh mate, would have loved to have seen him stay with us but Man City have a great academy.

I think his undoing has been floating between struggling Championship clubs. Difficult to progress without a solid permanent deal IMO, as Scott Sinclair found. You're having to effectively 'shop window' yourself over a short period of games. Huws isn't dynamic enough for a Warnock style of football really.
