• 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

Gary was from Winch Wen . He was brought up by Winch Wen corner a few doors up from another Welsh International keeper Jack Kelsey. When I was about 11 all the local kids would make their way to Gary’s house in the summer to get autographs , programs etc

Is Winch Wen corner by the Jersey Arms ?
 
No the other end of Jersey Road there is a mini roundabout there Gary lived in the houses going down the hill on the right. It used to be the main road many moons ago

Is that the turn off to Trallwn ? I used to be near the Jersey Arms but it's been a very long time. My mum used to say that she hung out with his sister, Sheila if I remember correctly, she was a few years older than Gary.
 
As a kid I loved goalkeepers King, Dyer, Bonetti, Yashin, Kelsey, and of course Sprake.
