• 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

BLAZE RIP

James' sister here, not been on here in a week or so. The days seem to be getting harder. Please know that we are taking great comfort in reading these messages off everyone.
Currently sitting here waiting on Kev John's turning up to speak to us as he is conducting the funeral service...who else would be better to do it? Nobody, as James would always say "The man's a legend"
Thanks again everyone xxx

In 2005 I lost my brother Julian. He died of smoke inhalation from a house fire up in Newport. He was 31 and I was 29. It didn’t seem real. It was all very surreal. We drew comfort from talking about him and the things he did. He was such a character. He left behind a little boy and his partner Charlotte. His little boy has recently become a Dad, so my big (smaller in height) brother Julian would now be a grandad and that in itself feels strange. We were 4 brothers and we used to all go up the park to play football, 2 against 2. We would get absolutely stinking and our mother would batter us. “You’re not too big for me, she would say!” Good times and fond memories.

James has touched many lives and you could tell he was so passionate about our Swans. Losing him is something you will never get completely over, but you will learn to live with it and you will come out on the other side, unfortunately with a piece of you sadly missing. Take care of yourself and your family.

Thanks so much for your lovely words. I have 4 boys so I know exactly how your mother must've felt x
