Sad to hear of the passing of Jimmy Rimmer 🧤aged 78,
Jimmy was a big part of Swansea City’s history. Player, coach and calming influence after brief but crazy Kevin Cullis era. A Great clubman. #OnceAJackAlwaysAJack
Former #swans skipper John Cornforth gives an emotional tribute on Kevin Keegan’s sad passing, one of the greats of the game! 😞 #RIPKevinKeegan
