Brian Flynn

Flynn started his career with Burnley, and made his league debut for the club in the 1973–74 season, when it was in the old First Division. After 120 league appearances he transferred to Leeds United in November 1977. He moved back to Burnley in November 1982 (after an earlier brief loan spell) and, after 80 more league games, Flynn moved to Cardiff City in November 1984. Later playing for Doncaster Rovers, Bury, Limerick City and Wrexham, Flynn made his final Football League appearances in the 1992–93 season with Wrexham, with his final game coming on 3 November 1992 against Scunthorpe United. He earned 66 full Welsh caps between 1975 and 1984, scoring 7 goals.

Wrexham

He became manager of Wrexham in 1989, and remained in charge until 2001. During his twelve years in charge Wrexham won the Welsh Cup three times gaining entry to the Cup Winners Cup. They achieved notable FA Cup giant-killing victories over reigning league champions Arsenal and Premier League West Ham United. Flynn also led Wrexham to promotion into the second division. At the time of his departure from Wrexham he was the league's third longest serving manager behind Alex Ferguson and Dario Gradi.

Swansea City

He was appointed as Swansea City manager in September 2002, replacing Nick Cusack. Cusack's last game in charge on 18 September 2002 had seen Swansea lose 1–0 away to Boston United and move to last place in the Football League for the first time in their history. Flynn's first game on 21 September 2002 was no better for Swansea with them losing 1–0 at home to Torquay United. He set about trying to rebuild the side giving debuts to 21 players in his first season Their Football League status was only maintained on the last day of the season with them winning 4–2 at home to Hull City. The following season started well for Swansea and they made the FA Cup 5th round but after a loss of form, Flynn was replaced by Kenny Jackett.

Wales

Flynn joined the Welsh national set-up in 2004 as under-21 coach. His management of the Welsh under-21 side has seen some of the best results in its history. Flynn came agonisingly close to taking the Welsh…

On 1 December 2016 Flynn returned to Swansea City as a scout. After Swansea's relegation to the Championship at the end of the 2017–18 season, Flynn and the rest of the scouting team were relieved of their duties.
