Former Swansea City and Chelsea manager John Hollins dies aged 76

Former Swansea City manager John Hollins has died at the age of 76.

Hollins became a huge fan favourite with the Jack Army during a successful three-year spell between 1998-2001, which saw the club promoted as champions from the old Division Three in 2000. He also oversaw a famous FA Cup win over West Ham United in 1999, a result that made the Swans the first side from the bottom tier to knock out Premier League opposition in the history of the competition.

He left his post after the club failed to stay in Division Two, before later guiding Rochdale to the Division Three play-offs in 2002.
