'Still a night out!' - The Q&A further cementing Alan Curtis' legendary Swansea City status

Alan Curtis has done it all.

From winning four promotions and two Welsh Cups during his playing career to holding practically every role on offer at Swansea City, you can bet King Curt has got the T-shirt.

The 67-year-old added an MBE to his list of achievements this week, with Curtis being honoured for his services to Welsh football.

And a Q&A from when honorary club president Curtis retired from the game in 2019 resurfaced on Tuesday after the Welshman collected his MBE from the Duke of Cambridge at Windsor Castle.

The Swans legend - who also played for Leeds United, Southampton, Cardiff City and Stoke City - offers his picks on a range of debates. He plumps for Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo while chocolate emerged victorious in a battle with sweets.

It's also long been known that Curt is a man who has gone through many kettles during his time with the Swans, and he had no hesitation in choosing tea as his favourite hot drink rather than coffee.

He then settled a number of topics pertaining to his beloved game.

John Toshack was understandably the man Curtis chose as the best manager he ever played under while Tommy Smith and Wyndham Evans shared the gong for being the toughest players Curt ever featured with.

The Vetch Field hero was unable to separate his love for club and country, simply responding "I don't see why we can't do both there" after being asked if he would rather see Wales win the European Championships or Swansea gain promotion.

But one answer in particular further endeared - as if it were possible - Curt to the Jack Army.

The former Wales star was asked if he prefers a night in or a night out, to which he brilliantly replied: "I'm 65 now... still a night out."

Curtis will forever be cherished by Swansea following what has been a truly remarkable career.

All hail, King Curt!
