• 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

Your first Swans manager

Possibly the in between years of Trevor Morris /Glyn Davies. Was it Walter Robbins caretaker at one time?
 
Harry Griffiths, vaguely remember him resigning, tosh taking over and harry becoming his assistant until his sad untimely death.

A jack legend, simple as.
 
Roy Bentley when I started going regular, although I was taken to a game by my dad when I was a small kid, barely remember anything of the game or even who the opposition was, would have been Trevor Morris or Glyn Davies I assume at that time.

Harry Griffiths for me
 
Hollins technically for me but I remember more of the Cusack/Flynn days
Jackett was manager for my first match

Same here FB
 
Jan Molby for me… and he scored in the first game I went to.

Swansea 1-0 Leyton Orient - Peter Shilton in goals for Orient
 
Yorath. but only for a short while before being very swiftly replaced by the legend that is Frank Burrows.

Same here.

It’s quite crazy (or maybe not in the modern game) that we haven’t had a single manager for 4 years on the trot since Burrows left in 95...saying that, we’ve always been sporadic with managers.
 
Bentley. My first games were reserve matches. One where Charlie George was playing got a bigger crowd than the first team. (I’m exaggerating …I think…I hope).
