With everyone preparing for the biggest match in our history against Hull on Saturday, jackarmy.net brings you the second in a series of articles written by YOU, the fans. Tonight's subject is funniest Moments. Take it away lads and lasses............................

"In about 1980, (as the opposition keeper had the ball in his hands for a kick out) John Toshack was giving Notts County Goalie - Raddy Avramovic so much close attention, that he just turned to his left and kicked the ball into the North Bank. He was obviously so frustrated that the referee wasn't penalising Tosh, he just gave up. Cue hysterical laughter from the North Bank"

Jeremy Harding

"Funniest moment at the Vetch? When a couple of the North Bank stuck two huge hands in Dai (the drop) Davies' goal mouth before a game back in the early eighties. I think ,as ever, he must have been going through a bad patch!"

Simon Thomas (Mags)

"When the jacks had the away end for the Exeter game when we went up and started singing "Your supposed to be at home" to the North bank!"

Jonathan Russ (jruss)

"It had been reported in the Evening post that the manager, John Toshack had fined Curt and Neil Robinson for doing a 'jimmy riddle' in the hedge during training. A couple of weeks later, I had taken the day off work to take a bus load of kids to see the players training. It was something the supporters club did annually. They would have a tea party after the bus trip and Tosh always got the players to attend and sign autographs for the kids. A prelude to meeting the players in the Harry Griffiths bar would be a tour of the players changing rooms/ showers ect.. Now (kids) you always get one don't you???.This boy---was the image of the milky bar kid. While waiting to go into the players changing rooms, I had the kids line up, and let a few in at a time, my arm stretched across the doorway, milky bar kid resting his chin on my arm, spotted Curt and Neil chatting, shouted "hey, you're the two that did the p ss in the park aren't you?" Me blushing, and the players just doubled up laughing"

"I remember when we drew with Wycome away to reach the AutoGlass final (i think!). Everyone spilled onto the pitch and my mate Chris lost his shoe in the mud and was hopping around trying to find it under a sea of Swans fans"

Mark Goddard

"Has to be when I first started going down the vetch and being young, my mate stole some adult magazines from a shop, hid them in his jacket, at the time we where in the family terrace (east terrace) so anyway, they are all well covered up. We score, we all jump around like nutters, and out falls these magazines full middle spread (literally) onto the steps in front of everyone. To see my mate scrambling to pick up these magazines was so funny, wet myself nearly"

Roger Russell (Life Long Jack)

"When Cyril pushed over the Millwall manager (sorry don't know his name) when me met them in the FA Cup a few season ago. Also when i first saw Tate run, he looks like a duck!!"

Matthew Taylor

"Being in the Harvester in Newport making my way round the salad cart and getting hacked off by this gutsy guy infont of me nicking all the salad, just about to give him a real stare, when i realised it was our Roger, made my missus laugh!"

Rob "Abergavenny"

"I remember Steve Thornber coming on as a substitute down the Vetch. He got the ball straight away and then went on a 20 yard run towards our own goal, while most of the crowd were screaming at him wrong way. He could not have been watching the match in the dug-out"

What to read next:

Swansea City : Adama Sidibeh in profile
He’s a very new name in Scottish football,but the St Johnstone player has allegedly emerged as a target for the Swans this summer. The player who is now twenty five was snapped up from non league Warrington Rylands in January by the Saints and is beginning to enjoy life in Perth.
Sam Gallagher fee estimate !
Blackburn Rovers forward Sam Gallagher is a certainty to leave the club this summer if the words of ex England international, Carlton Palmer are to be believed. In what we believe is a bizarre connection of Gallagher to the Swans we now hear an estimated value for the player.
Swansea City : Sam Gallagher in profile, but why ?
It has been mentioned by another outlet that Sam Gallagher currently contracted to Blackburn Rovers in League One is a target for the Swans. We’ve done some research and put a huge red marker on the player due to his long list of injuries
No current interest in Chelsea defender from the Swans
Alfie Gilchrist is being openly touted by Chelsea for a loan move this summer in to the Championship with other League One clubs interested. The right sided centre back come right back has already enjoyed a good season in the Chelsea first team, and now the Blues believe his development for one season needs to be elsewhere.
Swansea City : Zak Jules in profile
The Islington born centre back has eligibility through his mother to play for Scotland and his career hasn’t seen a level above league one, however this past campaign he has drawn interest from a few Championship clubs.
Ronald to leave Swansea City : Transfer criteria
The main success possibly bar Josh Tymon has been Ronald over the last five months of the season. Without doubt a raw talent still, his impact in a number of Swansea games last season was exciting and game changing. We had a lengthy chat with a journalist who supports this site and one of the staff at the club. A fairly key member in the decision making tree as well.
Will the Swans learn from their mistakes ?
He’s back because he’s a Jack, the Butty man reappears, the snivelling skurvied outcast clinging to life like the barnacle he is. A salt ridden death reincarnated, yes, just like the club he supports from two hundred years ago, now called Swansea it was then called something else …
Swansea City : On the cusp in a very good way !
Two players who have come to Swansea City in the last two seasons from London clubs have earned a position on the clubs retained list this weekend. Both are considered exceptional talents by the Swans academy, and their dream remains alive to become full professional players in the first team squad.
Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai !
As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.
Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson
We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.
