• 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

Yup that’s them. Parents were lovely people, hopefully still with us I don’t know. But there were four boys. The one you missed is the one who I was mates with through school and years after. :ROFLMAO:
 
Oddly enough going to the Eagle tonight...
 
Dai Morris was a regular in the Kings 🫣
It's closed now for good, someone told me it's going to be turned into an Indian restaurant 😳
I’d no idea it was closed. I don’t go past there much these days. That’s sad. Both the Eagle and the King’s were great pubs in their day. The Wilkie too.

The Wilkie still going, does lovely food too, one of the regulars in the Eagle took it over a few years ago and has spent a lot of money on it.

That was my first regular pub as a boy. They weren’t bothered that we were underage and if you kept your gob shut at chucking out time they’d let you drink well after hours once they got to know you. Terry Carpenter was in charge back then. His eastern accent used to make my teeth itch.

Yes I remember Terry, he had a doberman that he let roam the pub, ate my pastie one day straight off the plate... 😂
