Kenny Swain

Kenneth Swain (born 28 January 1952) is an English former footballer who played in numerous positions, including striker, midfielder and full back.

Swain began his professional career with Londoners Chelsea, signing from Wycombe Wanderers in the summer of 1973.

His most successful season with the club came in 1976–77, when his strike partnership with Steve Finnieston helped Eddie McCreadie's young side win promotion back to the First Division.

With Villa, Swain was switched to full-back and was a part of the team which won the league championship and European Cup in consecutive seasons.

He achieved success later in his career, adding to the league title and European Cup winner's medals at Aston Villa with a Second Division runners-up medal at Portsmouth in 1987, and achieving promotion in third place with Crewe from the Fourth Division in 1989.
