• 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

Pele RIP

Compared to the modern players many of the "GOATs" aren't fit to scrub his boots clean let alone lace them up.

Some have the skill but a horrible personality (C Ronaldo), I have never found a negative article about Pele which says so much about him as a man which is even more important because of who he was as a player.

He will be missed and I wouldn't be surprised to see games everywhere take a minutes applause/silence for Pele this weekend.
 
People of my generation will always remember him from watching the 1970 World Cup finals (in colour!), often being allowed to stay up late for the matches because the time difference to Mexico meant they were kicking off late evening in the UK.
That Brazilian team were magical, and he was the master magician. They tore Italy a new one in the final. RIP Pele, the Greatest.

Eh there's plenty to be found.

Ol Edison was a bit of a shagger and big mates with Messiur Blatter.

Incredible player but the reasoning behind why he is the 'best ever' is always flawed and often comes down to 'because he's Pele innit'. People of that generation are very nostaligic for the auora that was seeing him play once every 4 years.

Swansea City having a minutes applause for is a bit much though.
 
Just heard on the BBC news that Pele's mum is still alive ( the funeral passed her house ) wow.
