Huw Jenkins - Football CEO Of The Year
Not only content with being named as the best Premier League CEO of the year, Huw Jenkins has been named tonight as the overall Football CEO of the year at the FC Business awards at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.
Jenkins was announced earlier in the week as the Premier League's CEO of the year but tonight it was confirmed that he was crowned with the official award which was picked up on his behalf by Swans Vice-Chairman Leigh DIneen.
The Swans marketing team though missed out on the two awards they had been nominated for but can feel proud that they were shortlisted in the first place which is no mean feat.
All at Planet Swans would like to pass on our congratulations to Huw on his award which is richly deserved

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.
