“I had to be kicked out as a player and it’ll be the same as manager.” The now infamous words of Roberto Martinez on the pitch at Gillingham when we won promotion in 2008…

24 years. That’s how long it had been since we were in English football’s second tier and we were going to enjoy it.

This week it’s a current player who joined the club nine years ago ahead of our first season in the Premier League – Wayne Routledge!
Kenny Jackett made a new centre half his top priority in the summer of 2006 but his attempts to sign one were pretty disastrous.

At Swansea Oh Swansea, we speak to Swans legends and Wales internationals past and present, discuss burning issues of the day, and look back at the not-so publicised off-field events of the last few decades.
