• 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

Joe Bugner RIP ...

Sad news decent heavyweight was Joe, he was never really liked after he beat an aging Henry Cooper.

RIP Joe Bugner.

Henry Cooper must’ve been ancient because I remember Joe Bugner fighting. It was the end of his career and he had tits rather pecs but it was a big fight.

RIP Joe. Big Swans fan.

People close to him, always said he never punched his full weight again - after boxer Ulric Regis died from brain injuries soon after losing to Bugner in March 1969!!

Many people talk about him twice going the distance with Ali - but forget he also went the distance with Joe Frazier, Ron Lyle etc

He also fought in an era (1960's/1970's) when heavyweights fought 7/8/9/10 times a year.

RIP

It was a close decision, but Joe got it, but lots thought it was a fit up, Cooper himself thought he'd won it.
