Swans historians? Looking for a bit of info... 19:39 - Sep 13 with 5210 views | scottishjack | Strange one this folks, but we had an old fella in the pub today, lovely old guy and he was telling us about his grandad, he used to own the White Rose in Mumbles, and apparently he was one of founders of Swansea Town.
