They should show the new lad videos before he pulls shirt on, great player. |  | | |

Best winger I have ever seen in a Swans shirt.
Him and Jimmy together were something special.
Micky Conway was good as well but cant find any clips of him as coloured TV had only just come out  |  |

Agreed. Still have fond memories of Brian Evans, first Swans winger I ever saw, a winger was always a fans favourite and in full flight a sight to behold. |  | | |

Happy birthday Leighton.
What a player!
Great names mentioned there Mickey Conway - what a winger so tragic that his career was cut short so tragically.
Coincidentally Brian Evans was and still is my favourite Swans winger of all time. Maybe because I was young and impressionable at the time, who knows.
I now live next door to Brian's widow Rosemary.
She is a true inspiration. | |

Loved his infamous spat with Robbie Savage.
Brilliant to be brutally honest! | |

Didn't he reply to Savage after he tried to belittle him by saying he was a good but not great player, he couldn't tackle and if he came up against him then there'd only be one winner with Leighton's responding with "You wouldn't catch me son." and he wouldn't have. | |

A fantastic goalscoring winger, unplayable on his day.
Happy birthday Leighton.
Brian Evans was one of my favourites, with Len Allchurch on the other wing.
Not forgetting Cliff Jones, Mickey Conway and Willie Humphreys. [Post edited 16 Feb 2022 19:42]

Happy birthday Leighton.
LR beat me too it, Willie and Brian and Len, who when he signed was a oh no from me , why? but the couple of years he was with us brought so much admiration and thanks.
Conway was another one for a short period, edge of your seat stuff. lets not forget Kevin moore, |  | | |

Herbie Will's was quality, I used to play football in the street in those days, whilst the other's would pick names of players from First Division to play as, I used to pick Herbie  |  |

Great player.
As were the other wingers mentioned in this thread. A word about a more recent winger who played for us, Montero.A player, when fully fit was a joy to watch, the problem was he was rarely fully fit. |  | | |

Standing on the North Bank and watching Len Allchurch doing his stuff was my first introduction to the Swans .
Special mention of Tony Millington from that era too , good days they were .
Was Kevin Mcleod classed as a winger when he scored a few against Bristol City , 7 - 1 .
Happy birthday Gorseinon man Leighton . | | | |

One of the finest players for the Swans I have seen, can still the ball arrowing into the top corner of the net at Deepdale. |  |

I used to love watching Danny Bartley.
A full back, I know, but lways got his cross in. |  | | |

Was signed as a winger, and played a few games there before moving back. | | | |

If Danny Bartley was playing for us today he would have a field day in our system. | |

Loved watching Leighton James. Absolutely unplayable on his day. I remember one opposition manager saying something on the lines of….”They should wrap him up in cotton wool between games, he’s that good”
He would bomb down the wing, beating players on the way, get to the byline, and chip in a perfect cross, onto the head of take your pick, Waddle, Toshack, Jeremy Charles, who ever was there.
Happy birthday Leighton, and thanks for the memories 🎂🎂🎂 ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠| | | |

Brian Evans feeding David Gwyther. I was a kid in the double decker. Good memories. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Fabulous days when we dreamed of being in division 2. Now we are all we get is never ending moaning. | | | |
