Swansea Celebrations Delayed

Last updated : 08 May 2005 By Gary Fish

Swansea City’s promotion celebrations were delayed last night as they waited for goalkeeper Willy Gueret to be released from jail following this arrest by Greater Manchester Police at the end of the game against Bury at Gigg Lane yesterday.

While thousands of jubilant fans in Wales celebrated their promotion to League One, the team waited outside a Bury police station for the Frenchman.

Gueret eventually emerged after having paid a fixed penalty fine for a "public order offence".

It is expected that Swansea City will consider making a formal complaint to Greater Manchester police over the incident.
