Championship side Swansea City currently sit 11th in the second tier, just three points behind the play-off spots.

At 28/1 to win the Championship overall with bestusacasinosites casino and sports betting sites, the Welsh side are far from favourites to earn promotion.

Though none of the current side make the all-time Swansea City XI, they may well do in the eyes of supporters if they help the club reach the Premier League once the season resumes.

Odds of 14/5 with the best payout casino online for Swansea to finish in the top six seems like a good omen, particularly with how head coach Steve Cooper has got the Swans playing and it certainly looks good value should you fancy a flutter.

So, just how does this XI shape up?

Dai Davies – Goalkeeper

The well-travelled Welsh number one with perhaps the most Welsh name ever, Dai Davies joined Swansea in 1981 as one of John Toshack’s main recruits for the club’s maiden season in the old Division One. Davies was quite obviously an upgrade on fans’ favourite Dave Stewart, but that didn’t stop sighs of disgruntlement.

Those sighs were soon quashed though when Davies played a major role in Swansea’s sixth-placed finish in their debut campaign in Division One. Davies moved to Tranmere after two years and more than 70 appearances.

Ashley Williams – Defender

Signing from Stockport for a then club record fee of £400,000 in 2008, Ashley Williams paid that money back and then some. The rock-solid centre-back steered the Swans to the Premier League three years after joining and was an integral figure in the Welsh side’s top flight run. Signed for Everton which didn’t really go his way.

Leighton Phillips – Defender

A cornerstone of Wales’ incredible journey to the European Championship quarter-finals in 1976, Leighton Phillips made a name for himself at Swansea, playing a key role in two promotions under John Toshack. A formidable centre-back that wasn’t averse to a big tackle, Phillips certainly gets the nod.

Ben Davies – Defender

Without the season-ending injury to Neil Taylor, Ben Davies may never have got his chance. But, the left-back certainly grabbed the opportunity with both hands, making a name for himself as one of the most impressive left-sided defenders in the league. Signed for Tottenham in 2014.

Joe Allen – Midfielder

A major player in Wales’ semi-final exploits at Euro 2016, Joe Allen became a major fans’ favourite at Swansea following his debut in 2007. Allen made it all the way to the Championship play-off victory over Reading and then missed just two games in Swansea’s first season in the top flight. A consistently excellent player, Allen was at the hub of everything the Swans did well for six seasons.

Robbie James – Midfielder

A midfielder with the heart of a lion, Robbie James made his name with hometown club Swansea in the early 1970s and never looked back. Out of 230 league games from 1974-75 to 1978-79, James missed just 12 and he helped Swansea rise through the divisions in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.

Ivor Allchurch – Midfielder

One of the greatest to have ever donned the Swansea shirt, Ivor Allchurch spent 13 seasons at Vetch Field, registering over 500 appearances and 190 goals. Nicknamed the ‘Golden Boy’ for obvious reasons, Allchurch caused defenders nightmares with superb, close control and a goalscorer’s natural instinct.

Cliff Jones – Midfielder

Once hailed the greatest left winger in the world, Cliff Jones debuted for Swansea as a mere 17-year-old in 1952. Following 50 goals for the club, Jones was snapped up by Tottenham for £35,000 in 1958 where he became a league and cup double-winning hero in 1961.

Alan Curtis – Forward

One that just cannot be left out, Alan Curtis became an integral part of the Swansea club that raided the Football Leagues from 1978-81 and one of just a few to have played in all four divisions for the Swans. Excellent in front of goal, superb on the ball and brilliant skill makes Curtis a shoo-in.

Wilfried Bony – Forward

July 2013 was the date in which Ivorian Wilfried Bony joined Swansea and from there, he never looked back. 26 goals in 54 appearances made him a hero at the Liberty Stadium as the Swans became a formidable Premier League side. A £28 million move to Manchester City came about in 2015 before he returned to Swansea in 2017 – though he couldn’t help his adopted Welsh club avoid relegation.

Lee Trundle – Forward

Lee Trundle became professional in 2003 following a move to Swansea from Wrexham. Back then, the Welsh side were languishing in League Two – the Third Division – in the early 2000s. The striker netted 86 times in 173 games as the Swans earned promotion to the second tier.
