• 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

Ronnie Rees RIP

RIP Ronnie. He was in the same nursing home as my mam, she said that he didn’t say much but swore a lot. 🫣
 
RIP Ronnie.

I remember him starting work at Ford Motor Company in Jersey Marine when I was working there. He'd just retired from playing, nowadays he'd have been a millionaire on retirement. Times certainly changed.
 
Remember his debut and the excitement that we actually had him playing for us. Being a child meant I expected a superstar and, of course, what we got was a good player kicked to bits. He really didn't deserve to be in the third division. No space and a bunch of talentless cloggers looking for a scalp. Can't remember which particular bunch of cloggers we were playing, as they were all much the same.

RIP Ronnie

Was gonna post the same.
Remember him being kicked all over the park and I think he went off. Remember him being fast as FK. Think he was our record signing at the time.
RIP Ronnie
