• 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

Not surprised, he lost the love for it.

Legend in this country though, always will be.
 
A joy to watch him play in his prime.
 
Now he's stopped playing football he can turn out for them down the road, as they dont play much either.
 
Shame he couldn't have a proper send off. Wales legend
 
He was our greatest ever.
But he probably looked at the Welsh squad, saw Jonny Williams sitting there and thought what's the fckn point?

No, not for me. Most of JC's football in this country was in the 2nd Division and while he was with Juve, they won the Italian league a few times but I don't think they won a European trophy.
 
Thought he might stick around for another crack at the Euros given that it's only 18 months away, and we've got a resonable chance of qualifying from our group, but not particularly surprised. Really hope some of the talent coming through at the moment is good otherwise I can it being a while before we qualify for another tournament.

To be fair the European Cup was in its infancy when he was at Juventus and the Italians among many other nations didn't take it seriously.
 
What are the odds he gets Kit Symonds's old job? Too much of a coincidence for me.

Hard to compare as football has changed so dramatically between Charles' playing days and now. John is the only one to challenge Bale for the title of Wales' GOAT, for me personally he sits second on the list.

Thanks for everything Gareth and enjoy your retirement. His performances for Wales will go down in legend and rightfully so. He also wins massive style points for me by trolling the Real Madrid fans by speaking excellent Spanish in an early interview with LA Galaxy. :lol:
