Which is the best captain to have played for us?
For me Ash has to just edge it, an immense player & captain of Wales, a proper leader.

Agreed. He's ruining it. |
He's frightened off most of them with his bad language and threats. I've heard he is learning how to play tiddlywinks so hopefully he can spend less time on the Internet. |  |

BOTH, Great Captains. However, Ash has captained the best ever Swansea Team in History, outdoing the Toshack Era due to the extended time at the top table.
So therefore, ASH is the best Swansea Captain of the best ever team.. end of!
up to this point in our history of course.. | | | |

Certainly different under Monk than Laudrup, watch when Swans score now, Monk screaming out to Ash to bring their heads in and turn on.
Good leadership from the sideline to the pitch, getting the message over, good stuff. |  | | |

it's a nice point that, the tandem approach of both captains, not easy to get heard from the touchline as pointed out by Neville recently for Arsenal, when we scored it was Monk showing how it can be done |  | | |

Ash is a great captain, he leads by example and is certainly capable of organising the defence and he's not afraid of giving anyone a bollocking.
Who exactly would people want to be captain if not Ash? Nobody else is nearly as vocal as him. |
This season IMO is Ash's best as a player & captain. Generally though as a captain overall, Monk is better at leading on & off the field |  | | |

Id say because of that maybe monk edges it for me, i felt ash had games under laudrup where his head dropped but monk when crossing the white line was fantastic leader on the field no matter what.
Another thing that edges it for me was monk having to step up and maintain respect as we went through the leagues ,playing on his limit of ability in the championship.
Both are outstandimg captains overall though, but i must say that ash has learnt alot of of his leadership skills from garry.
It took ash some time to grow into a leader once garry wasnt by his side but he learnt it the hard way at the top table so maximum credit to both for me. |  | | |

Yes, I'm with you and Neath on this. I don't believe he is a great captain. There are times when the team need leading, when things aren't going as they should and crying out for leadership, encouragement, bollockings etc. but he remains too silent. Not a great fan tbh (as a captain that is). |
I'm in this camp too. There have been times when Ash has been quiet, or given bollockings to others for his mistakes.
Monk was a better captain, a better leader. I think that's why he's made the transition to manager so well. I don't think Ash will do the same. Time will tell. [Post edited 18 Nov 2014 10:56]

That's the problem. Gives out too many bollockings in the past. Monk has publically referred to this earlier this year. |  |

I agree I can't imagine Williams coping with the captaincy in the lower leagues like Monk did he'd be storming off in a huff. |
What about when he was captain of Stockport ? |  |

I believe that Monk is our greatest ever captain but Ash Williams isn`t far behind lets see what the next couple of seasons bring before comparing the two. As captain of Wales Ash is doing hell of a job. Also off the field is something we hardly see as fans lets hope that Ash gets this side right as well he has done really well with his Charity work with Willsworld lets hope he can continue this. At any rate both have been great servants of our club and long may that continue. |  | | |

Ashley Williams is an absolute collossus. Far better player than Garry. Much easier to be a "better" captain when you are a better player. His standards are exceptionally high. I accept there have been question marks about his attitude when the team has been struggling but this could be said of , for example, Roy Keane or Tony Adams, or Viera, 3 of the "great" Prem Captains of the Prem era. People get influenced by his inane social media ramblings but all the evidence suggests that for both Swansea and Wales that that is irrelevant and that he has the 100% backing of his team-mates and Managers which is more than good enough for me. |  | | |
