Synopsis
This is the first-ever written account of the intense rivalry between Cardiff City and Swansea - the Bluebirds and the Swans - two great Welsh clubs that first met in the Southern League in 1912. Their derby games stretch over ninety years and this is the first opportunity to read the about the club's origins and how their histories have been played out against the local and national events of the last century - with old rivalries surfacing each time the teams met. Each of the derbies has been carefully researched, with a full report on each of the 149 first-team meetings of the clubs - in the League, FA Cup, League Cup, Associate Members Cup, Welsh Cup and Southern League games - plus the lesser-known Wartime and Friendly encounters. Details about the clubs' grounds, profiles of their 'star players' and a statistical section provide compelling reading for supporters of both teams. There may be further exciting encounters if Brian Flynn can turn the Swans' fortunes around; if they give those balls in the velvet bag a really good shake at Lancaster Gate, who knows what lies ahead?

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   13 of 20 people found the following review helpful: Disappointing, 11 Nov 2003 By A Customer You'd expect a book covering Cardiff and Swansea to have a front cover reflecting both team colours but the only thing black and white on the cover is the bar code! It's all blue with white writing. Very Cardiff!! It doesn't get much better inside either. In the Introduction, the author reckons it'll be at least another two seasons before the clubs could meet in the league. One season would be the minimum if (or rather when) Cardiff get relegated and the Swans get promoted! As for it's accuracy, well it doesn't bode well when in the history of the Vetch Field it describes Swansea's opponents in a friendly to open the floodlights as Hearts. Try Hibernian! To summarise, only buy this if you're a Cardiff fan! Jacks leave well alone.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
