• 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

Players we've hated but perhaps admired as well.

Bit before a few people on here I suspect, but two strikers. Steve Bull(Wolves) and Phil Stant.
Both old school forwards who used to do well against us.

Amazingly Bull played for England while he was in the 3rd division with wolves
 
You could be right but can’t find any record of Holt being sent off against us - scored plenty of goals against us though

Parkin was sent off for Macclesfield against us but it was for a tackle on Izzy Iriekpen - probably Trunds was the one who wound him up !
I like to think it was me that got him sent off as I repeatedly yelled "Parkin you fat useless ****" at him from the NB every time he was in earshot - he was giving daggers into the crowd and getting increasingly agitated. He was taking a throw in right in front of me and I gave him an earful moments later he went through Izzy and got a red. Now I'm not particularly proud of that or my language 20 years on but needs must as we were going for promotion at the time as were Macc. Some bloke called Potter was also playing that night....whatever happened to him ??
