Kenneth "Kenny" Swain (born 28 January 1952 in Birkenhead) is a retired English footballer who played in numerous positions, including striker, midfielder and full back.

Football career

Swain began his professional career with Londoners Chelsea, signing from Wycombe Wanderers in the summer of 1973. As he had been a non-contract player with Wycombe, having joined them from college football, his signing-on fee was just £500. He made his League debut for Chelsea in 1974. His most successful season with the club came in 1976-77, when his strike partnership with Steve Finnieston helped Eddie McCreadie's young side win promotion back to the First Division. He remained with Chelsea until 1979, when they were relegated, and then signed for Aston Villa for £100,000.

With Villa, Swain was switched to full-back and won the league championship and European Cup in consecutive seasons. He left Villa in 1983 and had spells with Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth and Crewe Alexandra. He later moved into management, enjoying stints with Grimsby Town and Wigan Athletic, and currently the England under-16s, as well as an assistant coach for England national under-17 football team

Between 2002 and 2004, Swain was Director of Football at Thomas Telford School.
