Super Swans destroy the Cherries, Feeney at the double

We look back on a game from 2007 between Bournemouth and Swansea City when both sides were on their journey to the premier league. An incredible game for those that travelled as the swans put four goals on Bournemouth in a pulsating game. We look back to that Coca Cola league one game on Sunday 14th October 2007.

From the BBC
Former Bournemouth striker Warren Feeney scored twice as Swansea thumped the rock-bottom Cherries to go top of League One on goal difference. Ferrie Bodde curled in a free-kick and Dennis Lawrence nodded Darren Pratley's corner home to put the Swans 2-0 up. Lee Bradbury pulled one back from the spot after Lawrence brought down Danny Hollands but Feeney netted a penalty of his own after Marc Wilson handled. And Feeney made no mistake when Pratley played him in to complete the rout.

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.

He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract.
