Credible's Classic Matches - The Last Match At The Vetch Field

Almost 20 years ago, Swansea City bade farewell to their traditional home of the Vetch Field before their move to The Liberty Stadium (now called the Swansea.com stadium).

It was a tough time for both sides, a stark contrast to today when Swansea are doing well in the Championship and Wrexham are owned by two certain American stars, as back then Swansea had only recently avoided dropping out of the Football League and being wound up due to financial issues. At the same time, Wrexham were themselves facing a bleak future with then owner Alex Hamilton looking to sell The Racecourse for development as a B&Q store.

The FAW Invitational Cup is sadly no longer played, with 2008 being the last year the tournament was held.

A classic match, featuring some well known ex-Swans and ex-Reds legends, let's go back in time to see what happened.
