Swans historians? Looking for a bit of info... 19:39 - Sep 13 with 5251 viewsscottishjack

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. A Capt. Tom Martin?

Just trying to find out a bit more for the old guy...? I've tried a quick google search but come up blank...

Fourth fella, John Barclay Owen started a bank.

Owen's.

Didn't last long - not the greatest name for a bank in retrospect.

My first thought when reading this was Barclay's bank is older than that surely.

Poll: Is there any way for Lee Trundle to play in this squad?

Only 1 local player? FFS, don’t tell Kilkenny

Poll: Should the official match day thread include pictures?
