Bob Latchford

Ronnie Goodlass, who also moved to Holland around the same time, reckoned there was more money in Dutch football in the 70's than there was in England.
I guess that was the prime time for Dutch football. They had some great players - Cruyff, Neeskens, Haan, Krol, Rep, Rensenbrink, the van der Kerkhof brothers. One of the best international sides of all time and great to watch.

Johnny Rep, was there ever a cooler name! I agree about the quality of that Dutch side, an absolute crime they never won the World Cup!

When Latch scored for Swansea, it was a header, I think at the Street End, he had a big clap from the crowd.

It was a bit surreal. Not sure I've ever seen a goal against us clapped by our fans before, or since.

Although I seem to remember there were a few smiles and a collective sigh of relief a couple of times the season before last at home versus Man City?

Duncan Mckenzie on return with Chelsea I think.

This. Put them 1-0 up with a screamer at the Street End. Standing ovation. We equalised with a good goal from King. They went 2-1 up (think Garry Stanley might have scored that one) and 2 from Dobson in the last 15 minutes won it for us. Great match.
