Willy Guéret (born 3 August 1973 in St Claude, Guadeloupe) is a French professional footballer who currently plays for Swansea City. He is a goalkeeper whose shot-stopping abilities and outgoing, even eccentric, personality have made him a crowd favourite at the club.
Guéret joined Le Mans in 1999, playing alongside a young Didier Drogba, but moved to England on 28 July 2000 when he signed for Millwall. First-team opportunities were limited, however, and Guéret made only 18 appearances for Millwall (with a further two as substitute) in all competitions.
On 1 July 2004, Guéret signed for Swansea City. The club achieved promotion from League Two in his first season, but Guéret's joy was somewhat curtailed when he was arrested following the season's final game at Bury, allegedly after a complaint from stewards unhappy at his over-zealous celebrations. He was released without charge and was able to travel back from Lancashire to Swansea with his team-mates[2].
In all competitions, to the end of the 2005/06 season, Guéret had made 107 appearances for Swansea City.
