frequent on the way to watching The Mighty Swans at The Vetch Field? The pubs may well not have been in the Swansea vicinity, if you travelled from further afield, and had a sneaky one en route, or may have been regular matchday jaunts.
I'll start with an obvious one, and await the more obscure:
(1). The Builders |  |

Brian (Grey I think?)
An absolute whopper of a man. |
That's the man, a clever inside forward for the Swans, late sixties early seventies.
Always frequented the Clarence, but the last couple of years at the Vetch, used to call in the Orange House first |  |

A few times in the old White Rose but several hundred times in The George on Walter Road - I used to love in there and a cracking pint of Bass. |  |

Correct, also played for the Swans:
BRIAN GREY
Former Welsh Schoolboy midfielder Brian Grey played for Swansea in the 1969 Welsh Cup final. Locally born, he signed professional at the Vetch Field in September 1966 and made his League debut in Swansea's 1-1 draw at home to Exeter a year later. He was a member of Swansea's 1969-70 promotion winning squad and netted eight goals in 30 League games prior to joining Yeovil Town in July 1970. Helping them win the Southern League title and reach the FA Cup third round in 1970-71, he joined Folkestone in July 1972, then played for Merthyr Tydfil. |  | | |

The Queens without saying plenty of lively times in there...
late 80's early 90's Anyone remember about 100 of us barricading ourselves in there when the Police wanted us out and dispersed out of the city? think it might have been after a Bolton game, we just all randomly barricaded ourselves in there for no reason the police then phoned the landlord in the pub telling him to stop serving us and he told them to feck off!!... We then all left a bit at a time out of the side door and all got taxis to Neath during the fair to meet cardiff fans coming back from an away game ! totally random weird day/night |  |
