Swansea hard man arrested on 06:54 - Jul 25 by Brynmill_Jack
Odd how such a decent and nice chap would be sat in a pub on the seedy high street and odder how he would end up on the receiving end of a fatal beating from a gangster? Unless my thickness is blinding me to the obvious.....
I know it doesn't add up yet!!! Maybe the deceased was there in a support working role? Maybe Colin Payne was getting a cut from the ladies?

There is a picture of Daz in the Swansea Jack book after being smashed on the hooter by a coopers-truncheon at Millwall.Daz is a good lad and really funny
Steve Cooper would never do such a thing, blasphemy.

The 2007 Millwall trip ... Memorable but seemingly forgotten by most. Can't think why.

I think a lot of individuals would have been utterly unaware about the bad-rep the local press have built up. I bet many an outsider to Swansea straight off the train would have frequented that pub. And? If many (even locals) do not read the SWEP it would neither be known or realised about the lesser complimentary stories reported about that area.
I always perceived (until recently) that part of Swansea to be relatively quiet and benign albeit in need of sprucing up bearing in mind it's the first thing visitors tend to see after leaving High Street Station.
Argus!

It would interesting to see who the woman is as Colin,Surman and a famous footballers sister used to all live in a row in a gated private road and she had a few business ventures with him over the years
The woman arrested with Colin is Jenny Harding from Clydach, She was going out with him for the last couple of weeks.

And you lived to tell the tale?
Remind me not to cross keyboards with you
I lived literally across the road more or less. It was not the act of a hard man. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll confirm that. And the mrs was with me, which was probably key. She’s much more dangerous than I ever was.
Anyone with any "street wisdom" will be able to immediately pick up the dodgy ambience in and around the Full Moon. Even someone who's never been to Swansea in their life.
Last time I went in there all the pumps - beer, lager and cider - were off, and they were only in a position to sell cans of Stella, Strongbow and John Smiths from a small fridge. Total hovel at the time, with punters to match, but I like that sort of thing now and then. Slumming it. Chancing my arm.
Once, coming down Carmarthen Road on a bus, all hell broke loose - an ugly brawl spilled out from the Full Moon onto the road, the occupants of a parked car cowering as 3 blokes with baseball bats put every window in, police vans screaming to a stop etc.
Amazed it's still open to be honest. Maybe its because a lot of pubs I used to drink in around there have closed down: The Nelson, The Lower Lamb (?), The Pullman, The Brynmelyn and The Coppermans Arms all gone now.
Greenhill's always been poor and dodgy - in the 19th century it was full of slum housing (now replaced by flats) mostly inhabited by Irish. In the late 1800s coppers would have patrolled the area in twos.
As it happens my step-daughter lives in Greenhill flats. Not great. Many of the new poor around that way are asylum seekers. Pity for them.
Hope the sc*mbag who did this, if found guilty, gets 20 years and expires in clink.
