Swansea City 1998–99 football season
During the 1998–99 English football season, Swansea City A.F.C. competed in the Football League First Division .
Season summary
In the summer of 1998, John Hollins was appointed as Swansea manager and things soon started to improve. In the 1998–99 season, the club reached the Third Division play-offs , only to lose in extra time at Scunthorpe United . The season was also notable for a third round FA Cup victory over Premiership opponents West Ham United , whose team included Frank Lampard , Joe Cole , Rio Ferdinand and John Hartson . Swansea thus became the first bottom division team to defeat a Premiership club in the FA Cup since the re-organisation of the league structure in 1992.
