Swansea City saddened by passing of former player Tony Screen

Swansea City is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the club’s former player Tony Screen, at the age of 72.

Tony and his brother Willie featured for the Swans during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Born locally and a pupil of Bishop Vaughan school, Tony became an apprentice at the Vetch Field in 1967, and went on to make his league debut in Swansea’s 2-0 victory at York City in May 1969.

He turned professional the following year and he would go on to be the club’s topscorer during the 1973-1974, featuring in defence and in attack.

In total Tony made 156 Swansea appearances, and scored 11 goals.

Tony moved to Ammanford in July 1975, and helped them beat Swansea in the 1980 West Wales Senior Cup final.

Everyone at Swansea City sends their sincerest condolences to Tony’s friends and family at this sad time.
