Swansea captain Garry Monk has revealed that lifting the League One trophy was his best moment in football

After a much drawn out court case involving Leeds United, Monk finally got his hands on the Championship trophy on May 3 - shortly after the Swans had ended their League One campaign with a 1-0 win over Brighton.

And, in an interview with the official site, Monk said that was the best moment of his career "It was a great feeling - a feeling I want to experience again in the future, hopefully with Swansea City.

"It was a fantastic season, both personally and collectively as a squad and a club.

"It would have been even better if we could have lifted the trophy at the Liberty Stadium in front of our own fans, but I suppose you can't have everything.

"Saying that, perhaps it was fitting that we eventually lifted the trophy at Brighton because our away following last season was phenomenal.

"It looks as if it will be the same again this season with 3,225 Jacks set to travel to The Valley for the opening game of the campaign at Charlton. As players, the fans never cease to amaze us.

"I think we'll be branded the underdogs for most of the games next season but that's the way we like it, because we'll use it to our advantage. It will be enough motivation in itself for us to go out there and prove people wrong.

"I can guarantee you that no team will have an easy ride against us.

"I can also guarantee you that we'll have enough skill and ability in the side to be right up there.''
