    I thought it was the following season, but I might be wrong. I had something else in mind - what happened in 1969?

    Yes, you’re right about those three - looking at his name, you’d doubt that the fourth one was English.

    In 1969 they changed their name from Town to City, {but cannot see the connection to your clues so must be wrong}

    1970s Alan Waddle

    00s Adrian Forbes scored the last league goal for Swansea at the Vetch. I'm glad you didn't ask why Joe Hart has a unique place in Swansea's history

    10s Tammy Abraham. Take a bow for that one.

    1980s Ian Callaghan. 1990s Steve Torpey

    60’s Swansea Town’s last season. 1968-69.

    Emlyn Hughes for the 80s?

    Re: Seven decades of Cardiff City v Swansea City matches.

    68/69 was Swansea Town's last season. Alan Waddle is correct, it was Emlyn Hughes who was the fourth England international, Steve Torpey is right, Adrian Forbes is right for the 00s question, 10's is Tammy Abraham and Harry Darling is right for 20s.

    Enjoyed that again thanks for your effort, surprised about Ian Callaghan not excepted though, as he did not leave Swansea for Cork till January 1981 even though he did not play a game for them in the 80-81 season, but there again i should have looked at your clue about Emlyn Hughes name.

    Thanks, glad you enjoyed the quiz. The season in question for the eighties one was 83/84 when the jacks suffered their second consecutive relegation and it’s reminded me of a good question I heard a few years ago, what’s the link between Leyton Orient in November 1965 and Cardiff City in December 1983?
