Swansea legend Gary Monk tipped for Barrow hot seat
BetVictor’s latest odds put Monk at 8/1, alongside Steve Bruce, Neil McDonald and Mike Williamson. For Swans fans, the name jumps off the page: Monk isn’t just another candidate, he’s a club legend who captained City from the lower leagues all the way to Wembley glory.
Monk’s Swansea story
Monk first arrived at the Vetch in 2004, when Swansea were scrapping in League Two. A no‑nonsense centre‑half, he quickly became a dressing‑room leader and was handed the captain’s armband. Under his watch, Swansea climbed the divisions, winning the League One title in 2008 and establishing themselves in the Championship.
He was on the pitch at Wembley in 2011 when Swansea beat Reading in the play‑off final to reach the Premier League for the first time. Two years later, he was lifting silverware — sharing the honour with Ashley Williams as Swansea stunned Bradford to win the 2013 League Cup, the club’s first major trophy in its 100‑year history.

(Image: Swansea City AFC)When Michael Laudrup was sacked in 2014, Monk stepped straight from the dressing room into the dugout. His first game in charge was the South Wales derby — and he delivered in style, beating Cardiff 3–0. That summer he was confirmed as permanent boss, ending his playing career.
The 2014‑15 season was his high point as manager. Swansea stunned Manchester United at Old Trafford on the opening day, then went on to complete doubles over both United and Arsenal. Monk’s side finished 8th in the Premier League with a record points tally, earning him the Manager of the Month award in August.
His reign ended in December 2015 after a poor run, but by then he had clocked up 12 years of service to Swansea City — a decade as captain and two years as manager.

(Image: Swansea City AFC)Monk’s Cambridge chapter
After leaving Swansea, Monk’s managerial journey took him through Birmingham City, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday before landing at Cambridge United in March 2024. He signed a two‑year deal and was unveiled with the club’s scarf around his shoulders, tasked with steadying the ship in League One.
His spell lasted just under a year. By February 2025, Cambridge were rooted to the bottom of the table, eight points adrift of safety, and the club parted ways with him after a poor run of results. In total, Monk managed nine wins during his tenure.
Although brief, the stint kept him connected to the dugout and demonstrated his willingness to take on challenges outside the top flight. That Cambridge link adds another layer of intrigue to his name appearing in the betting for Barrow’s vacancy.
Other names in the mix at Barrow FC
Leading the market for the Barrow vacancy is Steve Evans at 5/1, with Simon Grayson, David Unsworth and John Brady all priced at 10/1. Former Wales boss Rob Page is a 20/1 outsider, while ex‑Swans manager Russell Martin is listed at 25/1.
Swansea flavour in the Barrow betting
With Monk, Martin and Page all featuring, the odds for Barrow’s next manager carry a distinctly Swansea‑tinged flavour. Whether Monk is tempted by the challenge at Holker Street remains to be seen — but the betting suggests he’s firmly in the frame.
Barrow currently compete in League Two, but the club has ambitions to climb higher, and the managerial shortlist reflects that. For Monk, it wouldn’t be a return to the fourth tier — it would be a fresh chapter at a club looking to punch above its weight.

Take the “High Line”: the thread about Leith’s unbuilt park through the rooftops
I found something very interesting hidden away in a cardboard file in a corner of Leith Library. The title – City of Edinburgh, Leith Local Plan, Draft Final Report, April 1975. Volume Two. Schedules and Appendices. – was so snappy that I couldn’t help but start reading it. This was the plan for a £90 million redevelopment and rejuvenation of Leith, which by this time was suffering badly from industrial decline, urban depopulation, poor housing stock and a general lack of public amenities. As part of this plan it was proposed that the Edinburgh Corporation as it then was (after 1975 it was Edinburgh District Council) would purchase the abandoned trackbed of the Caledonian Railway which ran from Pilrig Park to Seafield via Restalrig, over Leith Walk and Easter Road. This would be converted into a landscaped walkway through the area, what nowadays we might term a linear park.
Line of the Pilrig to Seafield section of the Caledonian Railway, traced over a 1971 OS land use survey map on a 6-inch to the mile base map, 1966 survey. CC-by-NC-SA via National Library of ScotlandThis section of railway, formally known as the Leith New Lines, was one of the last to be built in the city and did not open until 1903. Its purpose was to give the Caley access from its existing line into Leith Docks from the west to the expanding eastern portion of the docklands. It would cut its way through the dense industrial heartlands of Leith and Bonnington, serving these with large and convenient new goods stations.
Ordnance Survey 6-inch scale map of Leith, 1906. The North British Railway is highlighted blue, the Caledonian Railway in red and the Leith New Lines in green. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandOn paper this was a sound proposal but by this time the best potential routes through Leith were already well built on, therefore it had to take a winding and circuitous route requiring substantial and expensive engineering. There were numerous cuttings and viaducts required plus skew girder bridges over thoroughfares at Bonnington Toll, Leith Walk and Easter Road. As if that wasn’t enough, it also had to cross three different North British Railway lines, the Water of Leith and cut beneath Ferry Road.

This railway never fulfilled its potential, a planned passenger service was never introduced and its twin tracks soon singled. The western section between Newhaven and Bonnington closed in 1965. In 1968 the low bridge over Bonnington Toll was removed and the goods station off Leith Walk at Stead’s Place (Leith Walk West) was closed. For a few years the eastern section at Seafield lingered on giving access to the Leith East goods yard at Salamander Street but this too closed in 1973, making the entire line redundant. British Rail gave notice at this point that it intended to demolish its monumental girder bridges over Leith Walk and Easter Road plus a smaller one over Halmyre Street to reduce their maintenance burden.
Easter Road #NowAndThen image overlay showing the Caledonian Railway bridge in 1974 and the modern Google Streetview background. Original from Edinphoto. This bridge was removed between January and February 1980.The 1975 path scheme saw the opportunity to purchase the route from British Rail before they proceeded with demolition and proposed to replace these large, expensive structures with lightweight footbridges and to retain the smaller bridge over Halmyre Street. This would give an elevated walkway from Pilrig Park, across the arches of the viaducts at Jane Street, Manderston Street and Gordon Street and from there along the embankments and cuttings all the way to Seafield.
Cover, City of Edinburgh, Leith Local Plan, Draft Final Report, April 1975. Volume Two. Schedules and Appendices.Proposal diagram for the Leith Walk Sawmills and Caley railway yard land off of Pilrig Park.The bridges at Easter Road and Manderston Street would be removed in early 1980, with that over Leith Walk following in September that year.
It have assumed that because the bridge over Halmyre Street was to be retained that the viaduct between there and Easter Road, which cut its way rudely through the back greens between Gordon Street and Thorntree Street would have been kept too.

The large roof to the top right of the photo is Leith Central Station. That building along with the tenements along the line of Manderston and Gordon Streets have since been demolished. The large white roof belongs to the Capitol cinema, until recently a bingo hall. SPW027351 via Britain from Above.This ambitious urban realm scheme of course never came to pass. By the time an updated version of the Final Plan was published in 1980 it had been quietly dropped. One assumes this was because of the disruption caused to local government when the old unitary Corporation of the City of Edinburgh was replaced in 1975 and split up into the two-tier system of Edinburgh District Council and a combined Lothian Regional Council. Instead there was a cut back scheme to purchase the trackbed between Seafield and Easter Road and to landscape it as a pathway with funding from the Scottish Development Agency (SDA). While this at least did come to pass, the word “landscape” is doing a lot of heavy lifting and in reality this path was really just a strip of compressed dirt covered in dog mess and rubbish, with obstructive barriers to try and stop you cycling it without getting off and pushing. This would not be remedied until around 2010 when it was properly surface, the barriers were removed, new access points were added and lighting was provided.
Excerpt from 1980 report.Item 26 on the above list, the railway embankment through Pilrig Park, did also ended up being achieved although the link through to Leith Walk never happened. The viaduct from Pilrig Park to Leith Walk remains fence off, although recent redevelopment on the site of the former Leith Walk West goods yard means there is now a rather roundabout connection some 45 years later through an access road.

Photo © SelfItem 27, the second walkway which was planned in both 1975 and 1980, along the old North British Railway trackbed alongside the Water of Leith, from Coburg Street to Warriston, would come to pass. This opened in June 1982, making it the first old railway track to formally be converted to a foot and cycle path in Edinburgh, and the first of many more miles to come.
Line of the Coburg Street to Wariston section of the North British Railway, traced over a 1971 OS land use survey map on a 6-inch to the mile base map, 1966 survey. CC-by-NC-SA via National Library of ScotlandThe opportunity to do something between Pilrig Park and Easter Road is one that has never been properly grasped. In more recent times (although over 10 years ago now!) there was a semi-serious attempt to drum up interest in reviving the idea, with a connection between Pilrig Park and Halmyre Street achieved by building a show-piece timber and cable bridge across Leith Walk. How serious this actually was I do not know, I don’t recall any funding ever being in place even for planning, and providing level access to street level at the Thorntree Street end remains a difficult proposition. Even if it had been approved, like other schemes such as the section of Railway between Powderhall and Meadowbank, there’s a very good chance that it would still find itself in development limbo.
Renderings by Biomorphis of their engineered timber and cable bridge structure they proposed over Leith Walk.But if you happen to find yourself walking along past the garages which occupy the Manderston and Gordon Street arches, it’s easy to forget that there’s actually a railway station platform up there above your head, one which was built over 120 years ago but never actually opened. Although some lucky souls in the path have at least had the chance to get off a train there and head down its stairs to street level…
