• 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

Funny at times, but they all have become a bit more important in their own heads than they actually are.
 
Met him at a cricket dinner many moons ago. Brilliant guy, time for everyone and genuinely funny with it.
Quite the opposite of Boycott the following year.
 
There won't be another chapter as far as tv presenter, end of the book
 
I'll be honest. Sometimes when the rain breaks were on and to fill the time David Lloyd when serious spoke a lot of sense.
I'll miss him for that.
I'm not keen when he's with Hussain.
 
Going way back, my mother drove me down to St Helen's to watch the cricket, my passion at the time. One day, Lancashire (I think) played Glamorgan and at tea David Lloyd was NO at 60 odd. It was a hot day. I ran on (God I was 11 ish), got ignored by Malcolm Nash (I reminded him about Sobers), and stupidly approached Lloyd for an autograph. In a bath of sweat, he removed his SS red gloves and duly signed. Legend in my eyes - I must write to him.
 
He's been my favourite commentator (on any sport).
Real shame that he's knocking it on the head but it's no surprise really.
