• 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

One thing I would say about Tosh is that I first met him in the Holiday Inn Slough back in 1978 when him plus Malcolm Struel joined my family for a drink in the bar……..as a keen Swans teenager I went to the games room where Curt, Robbie & Charlo were playing pinball etc but my simple Swans badge got their attention & they were first class 👍!!
Boey on the other hand was a bit of a prima dona who (despite me seeing him have his double fracture at Swindon) was a bit of a cock who loved himself !!
Each to their own I guess……. 🤔🤔🙄🤣🤣

Not football related but a great photo nonetheless. My other Grans uncle Dennis Hunt scoring a try against the all blacks for Swansea at St Helens in which they won 11-3. I also have a photo of my great great grandfather playing against the All blacks for Swansea way back in 1905.

Probably the oldest photo of the Vetch as a whole? I've certainly not seen one of the West Terrace before the Double Decker was built

My grans brother Frank Scrine (4th from the left in the back row) played for the swans between 1947-1954 scoring 45 goals. Not sure what year this photo is though!

1949 ...

Cracking, Cheers mate!
 
Cheers Dar! Managed to find it, my great great grandfather Francis Scrine (in the white on the right hand side obviously) playing against the All Balcks in 1905 in which he also scored a try. Again, I know they’re not Swans related but I think they’re cracking photos. Obviously helps that I’m related to them too 🤣

That first photo I think that is Martin Morgan leaning over in the front.
