THE ROGER FREESTONE BIOGRAPHY

Association Football In The United Kingdom has seen many changes over the last ten years. Players like Roger Freestone are fast becoming a dying breed. They show loyalty to their clubs, and repay the support they receive from the seats and terraces by becoming a part of the institution that they represent. In turn they get incredible respect from fellow professionals and their peers at the clubs that they play for. Roger is one of these players. A career that has seen him play in the lower echelons of the football league has not been lose on football watchers nationwide. This book is the true story of a man who cannot be explained away as a journeyman, as he has travelled little. Newport County, Chelsea, a brief loan spell at Hereford and then Swansea City tell the Roger Freestone story. He has shown loyalty beyond what any football fan would expect of a professional, His rewards have been many though - he is an international footballer, a record breaker and was at one stage a goal-scoring goalkeeper.

From Risca Rangers to Stamford Bridge to playing against the world's best in the Millennium Stadium, this is the Roger Freestone story, a fight for recognition, a family torn apart and now ultimate happiness as he calmly reassures the back four in front of him and the fans who admire him.
Many professional footballers will find his story hard to understand, as they claw for a few more thousand pounds a week, light years away from Roger's career path. And that is why this story has to be told. We need some sanity in a football world that has gone mad. Another Day At The Office brings some semblance of sanity to proceedings and talks about real people like Roger Freestone. A real footballer in an unbelievable world.
I have watched Roger so many times I have lost count. He is safe and solid, as a youngster I admired him as a player, and fellow professional today that admiration has not decreased. John Hartson.
Roger is the last of a dying breed, he deserves recognition for his services to football. Andrew Melville
Players like Roger put our football lives into perspective, he is a genuinely nice person and a great keeper. Wales should be proud of him, the next Roger Freestone is a long way away. Matthew Jones.

Swansea City : The facts on players in and out and the strategy behind it
This week has seen some bad financial news for the Swans, and of course more questions than answers yet again. That aside there is some great news from the age grade side at U21 as once again we see a player knocking on the door of the first team squad.
Swansea City : Has Andrew Coleman been in the shower for three months with Bobby Ewing ?
The changing timeline of when Andrew Coleman became Chairmen of Swansea City caused a stir yesterday, our twitter account getting well over eleven thousand views and increasing, which sent website views here in to their many thousands as well.
Swans supporters consult Kieran Maguire and when did Andy start as Chairman ?
News of Swansea City’s financial position hit home yesterday as the club announced further losses. The profit and sustainability rules are forever hanging over a club, and in Swansea City’s case like everyone else it’s a rolling three year issue.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v Millwall
Glyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure
Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Jamal Lowe : Still to be contacted regards his future at Swansea, Langstaff update
We have been told by numerous Swansea fans of a chance meeting in a service station between Jamal Lowe and those returning from Norwich yesterday. Nothing in that or indeed the conversation they had yesterday. Indeed there has to be some interpretation from what we know already on Jamal Lowe.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road
It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
