It’s Alan Tate’s Testimonial game tonight at the Liberty Stadium and to celebrate, we’ve collected some of the Swansea City legend’s best pictures during his 13 years as a Jack.
Originally signing on loan in 2002, Tate helped the club remain in the Fotball League and then was a key figure in the Swans’ rise to the top-flight. The defender eventually captained Swansea in their first ever Premier League game at Manchester City which topped off a magnificent career as one of the club’s true greats.
Let’s take a look!
