Without scouring record books, I just looked at 4 'smaller' teams that sprung to mind, so Swans did well but not absolutely brilliant.
Watford had 6 years in the top flight at one time and finished second in the league and reached the FA Cup final as well as numerous semi's and quarters in that timeframe.
Wigan had 8 years in the top flight in very recent times and won the FA Cup and made the final of the League Cup.
Bolton had 11 years in the top flight in recent times and made the League cup final.
Coventry went 34 years in the top flight and won the FA Cup. |  |

No, we will have to agree to disagree there then.
I give you more credit than to believe that. Nobody is that stupid. | |

What we achieved was magnificent.
We were a small team on the edge of the country with a falling down stadium and a history of nearly always playing in the lower leagues.
One match from non-league and a few quid short of bankruptcy.
Ten years later we were in the Prem as a blueprint for how a club should be run and playing a style of football that most others tried but failed to emulate and being admired world-wide.
I, for one, am very proud of that .
Now thanks to Huw and co and some greedy Yank , I'm thoroughly ashamed. [Post edited 8 Sep 2018 20:43]
