• 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

Cue Darran with 'it's not a sports biography but have you heard of a band called Cheap Trick...' :D
 
Not new but I enjoyed Trevor Ford's autobiography.
 
Paul McGrath’s autobiography “Back from the brink” is an excellent read.
 
It's not a sport book, but The Moon's A Balloon by David Niven is very good. Read it last year as an e-book from our local library via a service called Borrowbox. Very good service and all free wrth gwrs.

When Footballers were Skint by John Henderson.

Wow! I'm just coming to the end of that. Thoroughly enjoyable and Cliff Jones in it as well.

Excellent read, my grandad played for Newcastle in that era. One of his favourite stories was that he caught the bus to home games and his brother was a bus driver and earned more than him!
