Timeline

1922

Initial results were poor, and the club had to apply for re-election after finishing 22nd at the end of the campaign.

1943

He claimed nine goals in 43 games, as Swansea improved to an 11th-place finish.

1954

Alan Thomas Curtis (born 16 April 1954) is a former Wales international footballer, who played as a forward; he is currently the honorary club president of Swansea City.

He was born in Pentre, Rhondda on 16 April 1954 to Tydfil and Albert Curtis, a factory worker and coal miner respectively.

His uncle, Roy Paul, was a Wales international footballer.

He had an unsuccessful trial at Manchester United as a 13-year-old.

He represented Rhondda Schools, where he was spotted by Swansea City and offered a trial.

1972

He began his career with Swansea City in 1972, and spent the next seven years with the "Swans", winning promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1977–78 and out of the Third Division in 1978–79.

He chose to remain at his local Grammar school and pass his A-levels before going to Vetch Field for a trial in 1972, by which time he had already won a Wales under-18 cap.

Manager Roy Bentley handed him his debut in the Football League in a 3–1 defeat to Southend United at Roots Hall in August 1972.

Though he did not have an extended run in the first team he did end the 1972–73 campaign with 14 appearances to his name.

The team performed poorly, and a change of manager from Bentley to Harry Gregg could not prevent City being relegated out of the Third Division.

1973

Despite being retained by Gregg, Curtis had to work as a builder's apprentice during the summer of 1973 to supplement his low income.

Despite the arrival of John Charles as a coach and Herbie Way's promotion to player-coach, Gregg continued the physical style of football favoured by Bentley that did not suit Curtis well.

Regardless of being ill-suited to this approach Curtis established himself as a first-team regular and made 40 appearances in the 1973–74 season.

1974

Gregg left Swansea midway through the 1974–75 campaign, and new manager Harry Griffiths insisted on playing a pass-and-move style of football.

1975

Griffiths switched Curtis from his usual outside-left to a centre-forward position during the 1975–76 campaign, and the move worked out so well that he remained a striker for the remainder of his career.

1976

He scored 17 goals in 53 appearances during the 1976–77 campaign, but Swansea missed out on promotion after finishing one point behind Bradford City despite boasting the highest goals tally in the Football League.

1977

A disappointing start to the 1977–78 season cost Griffiths his job, and new appointment John Toshack managed to take the club to promotion, with Curtis claiming 34 goals in 46 games to become the division's top-scorer that season.

On 12 November, Curtis scored a hat-trick during a home win over Crewe Alexandra.

He also claimed a hat-trick in an 8–0 victory over Hartlepool United.

1980

He was then sold on to Leeds United, but struggled in the First Division and was sold back to Swansea in 1980.

He helped Swansea to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1980–81, but a period of decline for the club followed and he moved on to Southampton in November 1983.

After scoring just six goals in 35 matches for Leeds he was released in 1980.

While he showed promise when he played, injuries kept him sidelined too often and he was let go by Allan Clarke.

He moved back to Swansea City and helped them gain promotion to the First Division in 1980–81.

He scored in the South Wales derby on 27 December 1980, in a 3–3 draw with Cardiff City at Ninian Park.

1981

He scored on the opening day of the 1981–82 season, as Swansea beat his former club Leeds 5–1.

The season was a highly successful one for both player and club, as he scored ten goals in 45 appearances to help Swansea to a sixth place league finish.

Swansea had a fine first season in the top-flight finishing in 6th position but back to back relegations saw the club slide back down into the Third Division.

1983

Curtis joined Southampton in November 1983 and he spent three seasons at The Dell scoring seven goals in 67 appearances.

1985

He played on loan at Stoke City towards the end of the 1985–86 season, before he joined Cardiff City in the summer.

Towards the end of the 1985–86 season Curtis joined Stoke City on loan playing in three Second Division matches for the Potters.

1987

He helped the "Bluebirds" to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1987–88 and to also win the Welsh Cup in 1988.

He then joined Cardiff City where he spent four seasons helping the club gain promotion in 1987–88.

1988

He scored a goal in the 2–0 win over Wrexham in the 1988 Welsh Cup final at Vetch Field.

He ended his Football League career with a return to Swansea.

1989

He made another return to Swansea during the 1989–90 campaign, and later ended his career with Barry Town, winning the Welsh Cup in 1994.

During his career he also represented Wales, scoring six goals in 35 international games.

After retiring as a player he spent many years on the backroom staff at Swansea City, and has had several spells as a caretaker-manager.
