Titi and Roberto signed around the same time as you.

That summer, Trans and Rob were signed.

Did it feel like it was a real fresh start then, you were going to kick on from there?

Yeah, I think as I joined the football club on loan, it was almost every month we'd sign a new player like Roberto coming in and then maybe one player would have to leave.

It was almost like one had to leave for one to come in.

Obviously, Lenny, Kev Nugent was there, Roberto would come in.

Obviously, in the summer, then Trans, Tate, he re-signed Robbo.

So it was almost like a new team.

Within the period I'd been there, we'd almost kind of had such a big turnaround in players.

But I think there's a lot of credit goes to, obviously, Brian Flynn and Kevin Reeves for knowing...

the type of players and the characters to bring into the club, and you felt the quality changed.

With all due respect, it was a big step up from the players who maybe had left within that season that we now had a chance to really try and compete in that league, rather than being in the bottom.

The quality we had, I think, was always thinking we could push for the top of the

league.

As a dressing room, what were your first impressions when Trenton and Rob won the carnage tinder?

Robbo was quiet at first though, weren't he? Yeah, but I think he was on trial, weren't he? Robbo was almost on trial, weren't he? I think he had like a period of...

He didn't sign, did he? No, he was on trial, yeah.

So he was taking it a bit easy, Robbo.

But no, I think we had a great...

I think we will speak about it.

The team spirit and the togetherness we had around that time was great.

I think a lot of us had come from different parts of the country for the first time, maybe moving away and living in Swansea.

A lot of us lived in the marina back then because that's the way it was.

So like I was saying before, we didn't have anywhere to eat after training.

So we'd always meet up.
