Jason Smith
06/09/1974
Smith was a commanding centre-back even as a 17-year old when he made his debut. His brisk rise to prominence earned him a move to Coventry City but sadly he never made a first team appearance and was back at Ladysmead after two years away. Smith was a key piece of the unstoppable Tiverton team of 1997/98 and also represented England at youth level, and his form earned him another crack at professional football, this time with Swansea City. His time in South Wales was hugely successful and he worked his way up to become Supporters’ Player of the Year and Club captain, before recurring ankle injuries forced him into premature retirement at the age of 29.
