Swans Success Goes Down in History
The recent success of Swansea City Football Club will go down in history forever thanks to Welsh historian Geraint H. Jenkins who has put pen to paper and published the story of the 2010-11 season in a new book published next week. In the book called The Swans Go Up! Geraint H. Jenkins claims that the Swans success this year is up there with the greatest in the clubs history.
Geraint Jenkins said: By any standards, the 2010-11 season was an unforgettable experience. It showed that playing an attractive passing game, in the Swansea way, can bring rich dividends. The Jack Army has every reason to be proud of the manager and his players."
Geraint, a supporter of the Swans since 1964, and who took his wife to the Vetch on his first date, has only praise for Brendan Rogers and the current crop of players.
The author is also writing the official history of Swansea City Football Club to be published for the centenary next year.
The Swans Go Up! is published by Y Lolfa and includes a foreword by Swansea captain Garry Monk. Garry describes the book as a Must-read book It will bring back wonderful memories for the Jack Army.
The Swans Go Up! presents the full, dramatic story of the 2010-11 season and the story of the club from the crisis of near extinction in May 2003 to the dizzy heights of Premier League football. It includes vivid portraits of the players as well as great photographs of some of the highlights, including that game against Nottingham Forrest and the fantastic trip to Wembley.
