• 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

JJ Williams RIP

JJ’s brother Peter died last week too. A very popular PE teacher.

Can we leave the racism out of this?
JJ was a great sportsman and a champion of many local charities. No virtue signalling from him.

RIP John James Williams
 
Bobby Ball now JJ. Hate this, guys I grew up watching on tv now gone, horrible reminder I'm getting on.
 
Terrible news. Hell of a turn of speed on him and one of the all timers. God knows what will happen in Wales when Gareth Edwards pegs it! RIP JJ
 
Fantastic player, not just a speed merchant. What a back 3 Wales had in the 70s, with JJ, JPR and Gerald Davies.

RIP
 
RIP JJ
Great player, from arguably the best of times in recent Rugby times, for me anyway.

Both he and Peter taught me (PE) in school (early 70's) - they were chalk and cheese. JJ was a true gent, and full of encouragement. He was involved in a Posh Cawl sports shop JV with my (dodgy) uncle back in the 70's - not sure if it ever took off. I was chatting to him a few years back in the Ashoka - he mentioned was running a painting and decoration business I believe. Welsh legend, RIP and thoughts with family and friends.
