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

As a kid growing up I remember he got into trouble belting a bouncer and that case seemed to last an age.
I assume it was the last straw for the image conscious WRU.
He was a fierce competitor , a really tough player and would have been box office in today's "manufactured" rugby player world.
I bet he's glad he played in the era he did but like most of his generation they wouldn't have minded the earnings of today's players.
It's very sad to see him struggling whatever your opinion of him.
Rugby in his era was spectacularly followed and the club rivalries, crowds and anticipation of am upcoming match were light years ahead of the regions of today.

Typical Pooler player of that era.
Not as hard as he makes out according to a few people who bumped into him down Glamorgan Wanderers who I know though, back in the day.
Until recently I've struggled with rugby in Wales. Dragons, who represent where I'm from were basically turning into Newport and that's not something I could ever get behind. The new chairman Buttress though does seem to be more inclined on going down the "Gwent" Route.
