Guest of honour at the Swansea v Norwich City game on October 10th. Given his health issues, there may not be too many more chances to show our gratitude to the great man. Let's hope for a full house. |  | | |  |

Absolutely.
We should be honoring our heroes whilst they are alive.
Legends like Mel Nurse for example - but too late now for Mel now who is in a very poor state of health. [Post edited 6 Aug 14:58]

Great days.
Being a Swans fan for 62 years has been one hell of a roller-coaster! | |

Sad reading that about Mel, he was a good friend of my late Father back in the day, we went to see him about having Wife and I's wedding reception back in 83, Wifey opted for the Jersey Beach in Aberavon in the end, long gone now though blocks of flats there now. |  | | |

Yes it is sad with Mel although he's still going strong.
The Swansea City family have so much to be grateful to that man. | |

Hopefully the club will start publicising John's return for the Norwich game as he deserves a good crowd.
He was a regular in the directors box during the Premier League era and was even in Napoli for our European trip. | | | |

Malcom Struel played a blinder in getting Tosh onboard , a Cardiff person who the NB took to somehow in an instant , he was accepeted as a Jack .
Never met the fella but always came across as a decent guy .
Tosh Keegan outfit highlights on ITV Soccer Sunday afternoon tele was a must watch . | | | |

Tosh as a manager with us really had the midas touch.
He couldn't put a foot wrong.
He did have a great mentor behind the scenes in Bill Shankley. | |

Tosh wanted to join cardiff, but they turned him down.
Accepted as a Jack on Day 1. Watford at home, 15,000 crowd in the 4th division and an entertaining 3-3 draw. Promotion.
Then the following season, needing to beat Chesterfield to win promotion. Tosh brings on, er, himself, to score the winning goal and secure promotion. It reads like a Boys Own annual (remember them?). | | | |

The Watford and Swans managers were unique , Graham Taylor likewise Clough had a handle on football as it should been seen at grass roots level .
Now that image of football is who earns the most and who wants broadcasting rights .
Highest bidder and the job is yours . | | | |
