Roger Freestone @SwansOfficial
Initially arriving on loan from Chelsea FC in 1989, Freestone made a permanent £45,000 move to the Swans in September 1991. He remained with the club until 2004.
He made 563 league appearances for the Swans across his two spells.
He became the team's designated penalty taker for a brief period in 1995, famously scoring 3 penalties

Remembering the great Harry Griffiths, who died at his beloved Vetch Field on this morning 46 years ago.

Just had an emotional Tosh on the phone:
"I've managed all over the world but he's one of the best I've ever worked with. The true sign of greatness is when the other team knows what you're going to do... but they can't stop you. That was Leighton. What a talented boy he was".

Massive kudos to @swanstrust for a wonderful renovation of the hallowed Player’s Entrance to the much missed Vetch, spiritual home of @SwansOfficial
The quality & accuracy is superb. Have you seen this, @elisjames? Also @gwylwalgoch & @sportinghistory?
