• 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

Leighton James RIP

What a talented player. Not many could dribble fast and forwards like him. Memorably good. People like Saka, Foden could usefully look at him as a means to improve.

I think he lived down the road from Mum and Dad for a while, in Highmead Avenue? This was in his playing days.
 
Sad news. He was a great player for every team he played for. I was the same school year as Leighton and played against him, he was always a great player even then.
RIP.
Well said.

Legend. RIP.
 
What a player. One of the very best to wear the shirt for us. RIP.
 
Sleep well Leighton. A great entertainer. Destroyer of England in 1980
 
Very sad indeed, thoughts are with his family right now.

Folks, enjoy everyday and live your life to the fulest, you don't know what's around the corner.
 
RIP Leight. Your playing days were before my time, but I've heard the stories and seen the clips. Absolutely would have been one of my favourite players.

I certainly remember you being an opinionated grump in your media days! Not afraid to speak your mind, that's for sure.

There’s no clip of his halfway line free kick against Liverpool when we were the last team to beat them that season in 1982. It was incredible…my memory may have moved the ball back a few yards, but not many.
