Are you a fan of Swansea City AFC? If so, how much do you really know about your club? The Official Swansea City Quiz Book Volume 1 is published by Gomer Press in association with the club itself, to coincide with the unveiling of the clubs new kit and is sure to educate and entertain Swans fans of all ages. Based on the 102-year history of Swansea City Football Club, the book is a must-have for Swans supporters who want to learn more about their team. Jonathan Wilsher, Media Manager at Swansea City AFC, said: 'This is the first time the club has given a quiz book the official stamp of approval. Its an exciting joint project between us and Gomer Press, and we hope it will appeal to all our fans. Theres a mine of information about the club, our history and our players in the book, and its a lot of fun.' The perfect companion on those away trips, the book contains 75 quizzes, made up of ten questions. It also includes four picture quizzes and two related facts for each quiz. The author, David Brayley says that he has made a conscious effort not to get sucked in to concentrating solely on the recent golden period of the Premier League. The book helps tell the story of the clubs full history, from its inception back in 1912, in a fun and informative way. David Brayley is a sportswriter and biographer from Swansea, who is also an education consultant, specialising in creating programmes that inspire and enthuse young, reluctant readers to engage with literacy via sport.

He has collaborated with top sportspeople such as Glamorgan and Sussex cricket legend Tony Cottey, and one of the Barclays Premier Leagues leading defenders and captain of Swansea City and Wales Ashley Williams, on award-nominated books. He is also an experienced sports columnist, having ghosted Tony Cotteys popular South Wales Evening Post cricket column for seven seasons, written his own sports comment column in the Brighton-based sports magazine Sussex Sport since 2010 and contributed to many other publications, such as Swansea Citys match day programme.
