Defender Garry Monk was signed by Kenny Jackett from Southampton in 2004, he had an interesting first season in South Wales where he was sent off 3 times and served a 7 match ban after being sent off against Shrewsbury.
He was solid in his first season as the Swans gained promotion but did look a little dodgy at times last season; he does read the game well but often his distribution lets him down.
He was also our top scorer in defence with two goals! The new Swans captain will be pushing for a starting place as the competition for centre-back is looking good for next season.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn 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.
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.
