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

I like the story when he turned up at Dean Saunders house when he was trying to sign him from Derby.
He was mangled by all accounts and down on his hands and knees talking about the carpet

At his peak, was/is the greatest ever manager. Genius.

It was said by a couple of people afterwards that Saunders made it up.

Soon after Brian Clough signed as manager for Brighton in 1973, he went down to their training ground dressed in his suit, something he rarely dressed in.
Watching them train, he noticed their centre forward trying to get past their young first team centre half (born in Swansea) with great difficulty. He then shouted in that familiar Cloughie tone, "Right son, try and stop ME getting past you with the ball"
Clough ran at him dribbling with the ball, when the young defender took out Clough and the ball, with Cloughie lying flat out in the mud!! Peter Taylor walked past the youngster and said, "On fvck kid, you shouldn't have done that"
Needless to say, that youngster soon found himself on loan at Brentford.
