• 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

Italian footballing legend.
Played for Sampdoria and Juventus, he won 59 caps for his country.
He held the world transfer record of £12m, when transferring to Juventus.
Vialli joined Chelsea in 1996, becoming player manager in 1998.
He won the League Cup, Cup Winners Cup and the UFFA Super Cup. Vialli also won the FA Cup for Chelsea in 2000.
 
RIP. My favourite memory was that European Cup away game in Tromsø right up in the Norwegian artic.

To see Vialli score in the snow was a delight.

Horrible disease

RIP. Always seemed to have a smile on his face
 
For me, one of the stand out figures of 90s football in this country.

Zola took the attention but it was Vialli who led the way for the foreign players in the EPL, not many high level Italians came over to play as they were told they had to play in Italy to represent the national team, they suffered for it until much later in the decade.

He had it all, the skill, the flair and the cheeky Italian jibe.

Dormi bene, Gianluca.
