• 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

Is he really! Always thought he was from Cardiff for some reason 🤔

Was up there today visiting an emergency dentist, place looks bleak to be honest.
Funny thing happened, as I was walking towards the practice someone beeped thier horn and waved at me 👋🤣

Were you wearing a sheepskin jacket by any chance? 😉

Because of his really strong Cardiff accent? Funny story of sorts (in hindsight). He was big mates with my dad who had passed away suddenly and by coincidence he had popped around our house to see my dad and there were a number of people (family friends in bereavement) at the house and he was joking about not being invited to the party.

Gareth Edwards was a very good footballer almost signed professional with the Swans.
I played against him many years ago when he was guesting for his local Gwaun Cae Gurwen Neath League side Colbren Rovers.

There’s a Colbren a few miles above Ystradgynlais, they also had a football team, not sure why the Gwaun Cae Gurwen club called themselves Colbren Rovers.

That’s the village Colbren near Abercrave and Onllwyn, it’s nowhere near Gwaun Cae Gerwen.
