Leighton James passes away on 20:43 - Apr 19 with 1718 views | raynor94 | Remember us playing Derby in the year we went up at the Vetch their fans were giving him stick, he absolutely destroyed them. One of the finest players to wear a Swans shirt I have seen in 60 years, unplayable in his pomp | |

Leighton James passes away on 21:23 - Apr 19 with 1611 views | union_jack | I’m deeply saddened by this. He was one of the best players I ever saw especially in a Swans shirt. Misunderstood by so many who could not see him for who he really was, some on the previous incarnation of this site. As has been said, RIP LEGEND! | |

Leighton James passes away on 09:00 - Apr 20 with 1026 views | swancity | A mercurial talent. A wing wizard. Alongside R James and Curtis my favourite footballer. My best moment watching him play was in May 1981 at Preston. Standing in line with the edge of the Preston penalty box when James scored our second goal I think it was. A stunning 25 yarder when he cut in from the left onto his right foot. I last spoke to him last year at Pontarddulais CC. Loved an argument. Spoke his mind. You knew where you were with him. Sad indeed that he’s gone. ❤️ | |
