About Swansea City
Swansea City are the Swans, formed in 1912 as Swansea Town and renamed in 1969 when Swansea was granted city status. The Vetch Field — named for the crop once grown on the land — was home for 93 years until the move in 2005.
In 2011 they became the first Welsh club to reach the Premier League, going up through the play-off final under Brendan Rodgers. Two years later Michael Laudrup's side beat Bradford City 5-0 to win the League Cup, the biggest winning margin in the final's history and the first major English trophy won by a Welsh club.
That period produced one of the great bargains too: Michu, signed from Rayo Vallecano for around £2 million, scoring 22 goals in his first season.
The foundations were laid earlier by John Toshack, who as player-manager took Swansea from the Fourth Division to the First in four seasons from 1978, and by the supporters' trust, which took a stake when the club was close to liquidation in 2002 and held it through the top-flight years.
