- . . . we take a look back at that memorable afternoon at Wembley in 2011 as Swansea City won promotion to the Barclays Premier League following a dramatic victory over Reading.
Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in the city of Swansea, South Wales that plays in the Premier League. Swansea City represent England when playing in European competitions, although they have represented Wales in the past. They play their home matches at the Liberty Stadium.
The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and joined the Football League in 1921. The club changed their name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swansea City to reflect Swansea's new status as a city.
In 1981, the club were promoted to the original Football League First Division. It was during the following season they came close to winning the league title, but a decline then set near the season's end before finishing sixth, although a club record. It was from here the club suffered a relegation the season after, returning to the Football League Fourth Division a few seasons later, then narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference in 2003. Prior to playing home matches at the Liberty Stadium, the team had previously hosted at the Vetch Field. The Swansea City Supporters Society Ltd owns 20% of the club, with their involvement hailed by Supporters Direct as "the most high profile example of the involvement of a supporters' trust in the direct running of a club".
In 2011, Swansea were promoted to the English Premier League, becoming the first Welsh team to play in the top division since its formation in 1992. On 24 February 2013, Swansea beat Bradford City 5-0 to win the 2012-13 Football League Cup (the competition's highest ever winning margin for the final), winning the first major English trophy in the club's history and qualifying for the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League.

Still got this game saved on the telly. Maybe it's finally time to rewatch it.
Matt K now would be the time
I remember EVERYTHING from that day. What a game! The relief I had once Sinclair scored the second Penalty was amence! Proud to be a Jack!!
All that hard work thrown away by the people in charge of our club. Cheers!Wouldn't flinch if they got knocked down tomorrow hj out!!!!
Actually, it's THEIR Club, as they own it. You are merely a customer.
@@MOGGS1942 yeah, now it is theirs, as they're trying their best to remove what people want from the club
I’m still not over this day
I was there that day and the amount of emotions I went through during the game was unbelievable , what a game Sinclair was fantastic and So was Borini. I have to say this was the best football game I've ever seen and I'm proud to have said I've seen this awesome team reach that big leagues #YJB
I still remember this day as if it was only yesterday what a great feeling watching your team lifting the trophy 🏆 and getting to the premier league
Without Monks making that block when it was 3-2 we probably would have lost that game and we probably wouldn't have ever gotten into the premier league let alone Europe a couple seasons ago! It still unbelievable that it was the exact same score line as the game against Hull back in 2003 that put us on the path to the top! This day is my most cherished memory of football. The range of emotions throughout the day was incredible and I still get goosebumps every time I think about it!
Hopefully we do the same this season
As much as I want Brentford or Barnsley in the PL, I wouldn’t even mind if u guys make it. You’ve proven yourselves to be a great side that’s won the EFL Cup and has played in the UEL. I hope u guys make it. Good luck, from a Man Utd fan.
Got nervous watching that even though I knew the outcome! Loved that match, wish I could experience it again.
5 years ago...wow, time flies!
I was there, My dad was there, My brother was there, My uncles were there
ill tell you now when dobbie put it in the box for sinclair we went absolutely fucking mental!
I'll remember this game for the rest of my life 💯
only been a swans fan since 2012 but I keep watching these highlights over and over again. I'm never stopping my support for the swans.
I cried after that last Sinclair penalty! Stuff of dreams!!!
Tate was terrific that day, as were they all. Unforgettable.
My brother and dad went to this game I was too young (3)😭😭
I will never forget that moment!
Take me back to this day :( The start of something beautiful, all ruined now
Yep
A day which means so much to us Jacks
I can hardly remember anything, and I was sober. Just the goals, and then feeling sick as the goals came in for Reading in the second half. Looking at the sky and begging for us to do it, and then the 4th goal and final whistle. The people running around on the M4 at the toll booths with Swans flags, what a day
cracking day
Don't matter how long ago it was its the matter of WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE ☺
I was there, seems so long ago now
There were a lot of brilliant things of getting to the Premier League, But on the downside, What happened to the price of tickets! :(
Dont worry anymore lol
The PL is a real con. There's not much premier about it. Expensive tickets ? Only if you insist on paying the price.
not leister its liverpool next season...lol
And they won the premier league
Back up this season for the Jack's
Worst commentators ever
FC Will 1925 especially the welsh one whos clearly a swansea fan. He got way ahead of himself. Very annoying to watch any commentator who clearly supports a club in the game. Ruins it for me; even if it's a comnentator that supports the team i support
No
@@morgankendall6891 shut up gay boy
@@yeetwchybaban Grow up.
The commentator's were Welsh, so they were hardly going to support Reading. They were very complimentary of Reading however, and that was good to see.
only been a swans fan since 2012 but I keep watching these highlights over and over again. I'm never stopping my support for the swans.
So you're a glory hunter then?
+LuckyModz Only been a fan since they've been in the Premier League.
+KJW Gaming Glory hunter means that he supports he club because they are a big club,have loads of money and win loads of titles, that's why it's 'glory', you would call someone that supports Man Utd but never been to OT a glory hunter for example.
You are a glory hunter. I've been a swans fan since i started going to there games in like 2009, You start liking them soon as we get known? Lol. I'd be surprised if you know what the Vetch even is.
+SwanZz MC 2009 isn't that good either mind mate.
