Swansea's Leon Britton gave his team-mates a history lesson to help inspire them before their 2-0 win over Stoke.

The 34-year-old has been at Swansea, with one season's break, since 2003 and played a key role in their climb from near-bankruptcy to the Premier League.

Britton revealed that the day before the game he handed out copies of the film "Jack to a King" which charts the club's rise through the leagues.

"I said 'listen, if you get a spare hour just have a watch'," he explained.

"I did it because because some of them don't understand, they come to a Premier League club and think it's always been like this.
