Blasts From The Past Line Up In Charity Game

Some of the most recognisable names of our not too distant past will be in action at the Gnoll tomorrow evening as a Swans legends XI will line up to take on the Swans4Cancer XI with a 7pm kick off

Names such as James Thomas, Martin Thomas, John Cornforth, John Hodge and Kwame Ampadu will all be in action in what promises to be a fun evening all for a good cause.

Sadly, former Swans manager John Hollins will not be able to attend as had been previously hoped but in the absence of a suitable alternative the team will be co-managed by John Cornforth and Andy Legg another returning player.

The full legends squad reads as follows: Alex Davies, Steve Jones, Chris Todd, James Thomas, Carl Heggs, Martin Thomas, Leigh De-Vulgt, Andrew Mumford, Mark Clode, Neil Sharp, Chris Jones, Andy MacFarlane, Andy Legg, John Cornforth, Kwame Ampadu, John Hodge, Kerry Morgan, Jonathan Coates and Kristian O'Leary

The Swans4Cancer XI is a closely kept secret at the moment but will be managed by Swans Vice Chairman Leigh Dineen and they will be captained by Justin Davies, who plays Ben in the Sky 1 hit series Stella.

The match itself will kick off at 7pm at The Gnoll in Neath with tickets available now from Derricks Music in Swansea and can also be purchased online at the Derricks Music website or via www.swans4cancer.info/tickets. Ticket prices are as follows:

Adults: £3
Children: £1
Hospitality* £20 per person (includes pre match 2 course meal, entertainment plus seated ticket in main stand)

Further details can be found at the Swans4Cancer website www.swans4cancer.info, on www.facebook.com/swans4cancer or on Twitter @swans4cancer. Enquiries can also be made via email at admin@swans4cancer.info.

The Swans4Cancer team would love to once again see all Swansea City fans young and old, new or long-standing coming along to see their former heroes in action once again and help raise funds for a very worthy cause at the same time. We really want to build on the success of last year’s match and continue to raise funds for such worthy causes.

*Please note that hospitality tickets are only available by direct enquiry via email and are not on sale at any of the other outlets.

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.
