"I've spent a lot of time with the family and there are a lot of emotions some days but by us doing this it just keeps the faith, its just amazing."

He added that Mitch was a big Swans fan and well known for his charity work and wanting to do something for other people. He said: "He always put a smile on his face, he always helped others.

"He did charity events across south Wales which brought in John Hartson, Jazz Richards, Lee Trundle. They'd all get involved."
