Swansea''s first ever game in the top flight - old First Division. Who''d have thought they would take the famous Leeds United apart on that sunny summer''s day. I was there on the North Bank with my schoolfriends. What a day and what an atmosphere, and what a goal by Alan Curtis!!! Great time to be a football fan, living the dream before the billions of the Premier League. BBC website report - Swansea City secured a historic triumph over the mighty Leeds United in their first game in top-flight football. John Toshack had inspired the Welsh club from the bottom tier to the top division in just four years and their 5-1 thrashing of a powerful Leeds side was a fairytale start to life in the First Division. Jeremy Charles opened the scoring at The Vetch Field on the opening day of the 1981/82 season before Derek Parlane levelled for Leeds before half-time. But Bob Latchford, a summer signing from Everton, guided the Swans to a memorable victory as the England striker enjoyed a second-half hat-trick on his debut. Alan Curtis rounded off one of the greatest days in Swansea''s history as the Wales striker cracked in a stunning shot against his former club.
