Kenny Jackett signed the French goalkeeper from Millwall back in 2004; he had the hard task of trying to fill Swansea legend Roger Freestone's boots. After a dodgy first game against Northampton, Willy soon became a rock in between the posts, keeping 18 clean sheets in the league overall, conceding just 40 league goals.

The FA Cup finalist also saved 3 penalties and hardly put a foot wrong in Swansea's promotion campaign. He became another North Bank favourite and soon fans were thinking whether we had found a replacement for the 'irreplaceable' Freestone. Willy signed an extension to his contract in the middle of last season.

Willy looks favourite to carry on being Swansea's number one, if he can carry on like he did last season, and it looks likely that he will. We won't concede that many goals next term.
