The last member of Englands 1950 World Cup squad. Hat trick against Wales
Quite a disciplinarian when he managed us. |  | | |

He was the manager when I started supporting the Swans.
The club were going through a new launch type period at the time. The Vetch had been spruced up and a spanking new programme was published.
The players use to come on to the pitch to some bloody awful song that I think was called 'you got to have hope' by Peggy Lee. I am open to correction there.
Little did we know of the terrible times waiting just round the corner. That's given my age away :-)
RIP Roy, he had a good innings. |  |

He won promotion in his first season 1969/70, the season we become Swansea City.
He signed Len Allchurch and Tony Millington, and this was the season that Malcolm Struel's consortium took over the club.
RIP Roy Bentley YJB |  |

Yep he did a great job and the club had a real professional feel about it at the time before the dreaded Gregg days. | |

He was manager when I saw my first game too,a pre-season friendly against Man City in August 1972. I’ve still got my ticket I thought I was like 10,000 feet up in the air.
Thanks for a lifetime of mainly misery Roy. RIP Dude.

He should always be remembered as the manager who had Alan Curtis put pen to paper when he signed amateur forms in 1971/72 ??
He treated the youngsters at the club well, not like that pig Gregg. | |

When was you living in Phillip St? My Grand parents lived a few doors from Carolyn Harris and her parents.
One of the sons of a Family living virtually living opposite was the drummer in the Blow Monkeys,
