9th May

As part of our weekly content on social media and the club website, today we bring you our latest 'blast from the past' feature.

Every Friday, we will provide supporters the opportunity to reminisce over a classic match between the Swans and an upcoming opponent.

This weekend Garry Monk's side travel to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland in the final game of the Premier League season.

Therefore, today we look back at a classic encounter between the two sides from 1958.


Swans Vs Sunderland - Vetch Field - September 13, 1958

Ivor Allchurch was once again the man of the moment as Swansea ran out 5-0 victors over Sunderland at the Vetch Field.

On the day when 17-year-old Herbie Williams made his debut for the Swans, the hosts ran riot as Allchurch scored four and Des Palmer scored one to see off the Black Cats.

The five-goal demolition of their North East opponents helped the Swans on their way to a mid-table finish in Division 2 as they ended the season in 11th position
