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
Jimmy Greaves RIP

RIP. Before my time, but clearly a great player and so unlucky to have been injured in the group stages in 1966. I only really knew him from watching Saint and Greavsie as a kid.
81 seems a good innings considering his battles with the bottle and health issues in later life. Seems to have had an interesting life post-football also.

RIP.
Also just before my time, and remember him from Saint and Greavsie growing up.
His goal scoring record is astonishing
It’s appropriate that Spurs v Chelsea play today, so both clubs can pay their respects.
44 – His international goals, fourth on England’s all-time list behind Wayne Rooney, Sir Bobby Charlton and Gary Lineker.
57 – caps for his country, far fewer than any other England player with 40 or more goals.
6 – international hat-tricks, still a record. That includes four-goal hauls against Northern Ireland in 1963 and Norway in 1966.
41 – league goals for Chelsea in the 1960-61 season, during which he turned 21
266 – goals in his 10 years at Tottenham, making him the club’s record scorer. He is also seventh on Chelsea’s all-time list with 132.
5 – major honours won in his career – the 1966 World Cup with England, two FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup with Spurs and a Serie A title with Milan

Can't argue with his goalscoring stats.
I saw him play in his alcoholic era for Barnet against Bridgend Town.
