Joe Ledley, Andy Legg and Dave Jones talk to the Guardian ahead of the Swans against Cardiff

The Guardian has a long article about the rivalry between the two South Wales clubs and they talked to a past Cardiff legend, Dave Jones and Joe Ledley about their feelings as we build up towards the big match

This is what the three had to say

Joe Ledley: "The match probably means more to me than anyone else

"I was born in Cardiff and I know how the fans will feel if we win or lose. I would be devastated if we lost. It's a massive game, up there with the best I've played in, and I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to get booed and if I score I'll give it back to them.

"Hopefully the first tackle I'll win the ball and take someone out as well."

Andy Legg: "I think people don't talk about the Swansea and Cardiff game because they've been in the lower leagues for a long time, but it's every bit as passionate as the other derbies

"It's such a fierce encounter and, God, the matches were intense. Hatred is not too strong a word to use. The fans despise each other. They are so passionate about their own club and there has been loads of trouble in the past."

Dave Jones: "I understand the importance of it

"I've been involved in big derby matches as a player and manager and I know what it's like with the bragging rights and the players will be up for all of that. But we've got to make sure we don't get enveloped into all the hype and razzmatazz."
