• 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
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Wasn't "Without You" written for George by Pete Ham but he said you do it instead?

Both Peter Ham and Tommy Evans had written songs for their then girlfriends, and decided to merge the songs together, and came up "Without You"

After they recorded it, they decided it wasn't good enough as a single, so used it as an album filler on "No Dice"

The rest is history (SAD) ...

RIP. "Piggy"

Pete's widow had a really cool, bittersweet story about how the song was created, and her part in inspiring a line of the lyrics.

Starts at 7:45 in this clip from the BBC documentary about them.
