Swans fly to the sun and back
The mining valleys of South Wales had once helped power the United Kingdom, as one of the key regions of the Industrial Revolution. But by the late 1970s and early 1980s, the surrounding area, of which Swansea was the port city and a centre for copper production, had lapsed into deep depression. Unemployment, crime and social problems took a tight hold. For a while, Swansea's football team, ironically led by Cardiff native John Toshack, lifted flagging local spirits, before being felled by the type of financial problems then so familiar to that part of the world.
Player-manager Toshack's arrival at the Vetch Field in March 1978 was the moment that a provincial club in the Principality began to go places. As part of a fabled Liverpool striking partnership with Kevin Keegan, 'Tosh' was the leading Welsh player of his generation, and had been a star since becoming Cardiff City's youngest ever player and goalscorer as a 16-year-old in 1965. His last days as a Liverpool player had been blighted by injury and he was now forced to accept that his days at the top were at an end.

Holiday calendar: Santa's shrinking domain
Global warming has been a topic of concern not since the 1990s or the 1970s. Not even the 1950s but since the 1890s when it was theorised by a scientist named Svente Arrhenius. There may have been an article in a popular magazine in the 70s about the ...
