Trundle given honorary degree by Swansea University

Former Swansea City striker Lee Trundle has been given an honorary master's degree by Swansea University.

Club legend Trundle, 48, scored 78 goals in 146 appearances for Swansea during two spells as a player, when he was known for his flamboyant style.

After retiring from the professional game, Trundle became club ambassador in 2013, a role he still holds.

"When I first moved to Swansea, it was just for football, that's all I had on my mind and it was the first time I'd lived away from home," said Liverpool-born Trundle.

"I didn't know how I would be away from home, but within three months I'd signed a two-year extension. That was not just down to the football club, that was down to the people in the area as well.

"I'd get out into the city as a player where we would go to different events and I would find myself going to a lot of these events, meeting people and not only was I falling in love with the football club, but I was falling in love with the city and how the people were treating me as well."
