About this deal

Swansea defender Kyle Naughton got his head to Wes Harding's long throw, but only succeeded in helping the ball on to Ogbene. During the afternoon I saw a fight break out. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was assaulted. I may have thrown punches in self-defence as persons continued to assault me. I am an entirely innocent party.

Perhaps there's more to it than football, with Cardiff being named the official capital of Wales in 1955 [Swansea was only granted city status in 1969] and Swansea feeling that they'd been relegated to the status of a second-class city... the poor relation of Wales.” The return fixture saw trouble all day. At the game's end 90 seats were ripped up and thrown on to the pitch by Cardiff fans. David Singh, for Kane, said the references and letters handed to the court on behalf of the defendant "demonstrate a very different side" to him.

Hooliganism, however, developed rather late in the game’s history. Before the 1960s, it was a rare event and normally limited to an isolated punch up in the crowd or a drunk fan running onto the pitch to remonstrate with a player or the ref. In 1934, the ref was even pelted by oranges by Swansea fans at a home game against Swindon.

This was a high profile fixture with the championship to be decided. During disturbances a Swansea supporter sustained fatal injuries. Occasionally, the trouble was more serious, as the poorly-refereed 1923 West Wales Senior Cup Final between Llanelly and Swansea Town showed.
