Swansea City will be hoping to get their promotion push back on track after the international break.
The defeat to Cardiff City last weekend was a frustrating one and has left them six points back from the top two, though they do have a game in hand over the sides above them.
Steve Cooper has done a fantastic job since he took charge last summer and deserves a huge amount of credit, whether or not he takes the Swans up to Premier League this term.
The 41-year-old's experience in youth setups has been clear to see with a number of young players thriving under him at the Liberty Stadium
It's not all been about youth, however, and there's no argument that Swansea would not be where they are now in the table without the goals of the experienced Andre Ayew.
Our focus today is on some experienced heads of the club's past and we've scoured the Transfermarkt records to find the top 10 oldest players to ever feature for Swansea...
With start with a face that will surely be very familiar to Swansea fans of all ages.
Alan Curtis is currently the club's Honorary President, but he's held plenty of other positions with the Swans.
Before he was an assistant manager, caretaker boss, or loans manager, Curtis was a Swansea player.
The Welshman came through the academy and progressed into the first team before leaving the club and returning in the latter part of his career.
The 1990/91 campaign would be his last and saw him feature for them at the age of 35 years, 8 months and 24 days.
Goalkeepers often outlast their outfield colleagues, so it's no surprise that Gerhard Tremmel is one of two shot-stoppers on this list.
The Liberty Stadium was the final stop in the German's career and he hung up his boots at the end of the 2016/17 campaign.
Before that his final game came at the age of 36 years, 1 month and 18 days in a 6-2 win against Tranmere Rovers, securing him 10th place on this list.
Tremmel's retirement didn't bring the end of his relationship with the South Wales club, however, and he is now a scout for the Swans.
Emlyn Hughes had a magnificent career, with his exploits at Liverpool seeing him win four league titles, two European Cups, and an FA Cup.
The former England defender ended his career at Swansea, having joined for the 1983/84 campaign.
Hughes didn't feature much for the Swans but was 36 years, 1 month, and 27 days old when he played in their 1-0 defeat to Colchester United in the Carabao Cup in 1983 – putting him at number eight on this list.
Even though his contributions for Swansea were fairly minimal, having a player of his quality linked to the club is certainly a positive.
The only current Swansea player on this list, Wayne Routledge has been a fantastic servant to the South Wales club.
It has been nearly a decade since the winger first arrived at the Liberty Stadium and he's amassed nearly 300 appearances during that time.
Routledge's most recent appearance came earlier this month against Bournemouth in the Championship, which the Swans lost 3-o, and he was 36 years 02 months and 9 days at the time.
With his contract set to expire this summer, the winger might not get too many more chances to climb higher on this list.
John Mahoney notched up more than 100 appearances for the Swans across a four-year period.
The Wales international had spent a decade with Stoke City earlier in his career but it was Middlesbrough that he joined the Swans from in 1979.
Mahoney's career was sadly ended by an injury picked up from a heavy challenge but he's still number six on our list, having featured for the South Wales club at the age of 36 years, 5 months, and 6 days old.
He has since coached at a string of clubs in Wales, including Bangor City, Newport County, and Carmarthen Town.
Other than his time with Leyton Orient, the entirety of Kevin Nugent's career was spent in the South West of England and Wales.
The attacker started his career with Orient in the early 1990s before featuring for Plymouth Argyle, Bristol City, Cardiff City, returning to the O's and then finally joining the Swans.
Having originally arrived on loan, Nugent signed permanently for Swansea in 2003 and would make a total of 74 appearances before hanging up his boots.
His final appearance for the club came at the age of 36 years, 5 months, and 28 days old in the 2005/06 campaign.
Nick Cusack's time with the Swans may have come at the end of his career but he still proved a fantastic servant to the club.
Signing in 1997, the midfielder made 200 appearances for Swansea, served as club captain, and then even managed the club in 2002.
He didn't last too long in the hot seat and left the club permanently in September 2002.
Cusack's final game for the Swans that same month at the age of 36 years, 8 months, and 18 days, with the Welsh side beaten 3-2 by Wolves at the Vetch.
The midfielder showed his quality in that game, setting up Jamie Wood's goal in the 22nd minute.
Born and raised in Swansea, Ivor Allchurch made more than 400 appearances for his boyhood club across two separate spells with them.
Known as the 'golden boy of Welsh football', Allchurch spent more than a decade with the club in his first spell – captaining them and firing in goals.
He left in 1958 to join Newcastle and then after a further seven years with Cardiff City, returned to Swansea in 1965.
His last game for the Swans came in the 1966/67 season with the forward at the age of 36 years, 11 months, and 19 days, and he finished his career as his boyhood club's all-time leading goalscorer.
One place above of his brother on this list, Len Allchurch also came through at Swansea as a teenager and then after departing South Wales, returned at the end of his career.
The winger wasn't quite as talented as his brother but was still a Wales international and earned more than 300 appearances for his boyhood club.
After spells at Sheffield United and Stockport County, Allchurch returned to Swansea in 1969 and played two more seasons before hanging up his boots.
By featuring at the age of 37 years, 4 months, and 11 days, the Welsh winger earned himself number two on this list.
The only player beyond the age of 40 on this list, Tommy Hutchinson is the oldest player ever to play for the Swans – according to Transfermarkt.
After a career that had seen him feature for the likes of Alloa Athletic, Blackpool, Coventry City, Seattle Sounders, and Manchester City, the Scottish midfielder joined Swansea in 1985.
He went on to make nearly 200 appearances for the Swans, the last of which came in the 1990/91 campaign.
Hutchinson featured for Swansea at the age of 42 years, 3 months, and 18 days meaning he tops this list.
The Swans weren't his last club either as he spent three years with Merthyr Tydfil after leaving in 1991.
