• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Wasn’t he the first player we paid a fee for after being skintos for years?
 
Come on, let's be honest, he was rubbish, typical lower league forward, he was the league two Kieffer Moore
 
Just checked, 1999 was the last time we paid a fee for a player before Paul Connor.
 
I think his mam wrote his wiki page.

“With the end of his contract looming Connor was sold just before transfer deadline day in March 2004 for just £35,000 to Swansea City despite Dale's precarious League position. Connor proved to be a hardworking, skilful striker, forging effective partnerships with both Lee Trundle and Kevin Nugent.

Often maligned for basically not being Trundle, Paul scored a number of very important goals with some excellent finishes. The second top goal scorer in the 2004–05 season with 12 finishes in 44 appearances was 3 or 4 better than their top scorers totals for a number of seasons during the 1990s.”
 
This was a brilliant day out.

Was at the game also, cracking day, Connor was outstanding, do you remember us taking the piss out of the long haired Walsall fan at half time, he was walking along the bottom of the stand that ran the length of the pitch giving us the Nescafe handshake in response, and walked straight into a pillar! Hilarious it was 😂
