• 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

I Know none of us were alive to see him play but I think Jack Fowler gets over looked in the best ever striker debate 102 goals in 167 app is none too shabby

My grandfather used to talk about him. Apparently the Crowd would sing Fow Fow Fow Fowler, Score a little goal for me...
 
I agree with everyone from my time! Apart from I'd have piroe for sinclair and just missing out andre ayew!
 
Torpey, bird, watkin, trundle, Scotland, sinclair, Graham, Michu, bony, Andre ayew, mcburnie and piroe the better goalscorers since my first live game in 1994
 
Trundle my favourite but Bony was so good.
Malaria seemed to kill his career.

Plus Cyril Pearce who still holds the record for us, scoring 35 league goals (40) in the 1931-32 season in Div 2 (Champ) - and in total scored 43 goals in 55 appearances.

His overall career total wasn't shabby either - 117 league goals in 150 matches.
 
The guys who wrote this is just a generational thing. As mentioned Latch,Curt, Ivor big Dai G. I'd also add Herbie(ooh ooh) Wiliiams to that who they've probably never heard of. Well thats my early generation anyway.
 
Interesting stuff but clearly written from someone with no real experience before this century. For me I would take out Scotland and Sinclair moving in Curtis and possibly allchurch (although not old enough to have seen him play)

Someone said piroe? lol
 
The "X" generation would not have seen the likes of Ivor,Gwyther,Waddle and Latchford .
Latchbwas especially great abd didnt he get his highest goal tally in the season we were relegated from the old First Division?
I’m gen x and I saw both waddle and latchford
 
Judith Chalmers or the Toffee Bob Latchford for us old farts who stood on the NB back in the dark days .

Herbie and Dai Gwyther will always be remembered as legends and still be by fading memories .

Just throw in Michu as box office viewing , a Laudrup masterpiece of a signing .
