    Ferrie Bodde: Former Swansea City midfielder in coma.

    Former Wales, Burnley and Swansea winger Leighton James has suffered a suspected mild stroke.


    My thought are with both and their families, hope the get well soon.

    Agreed, Ferrie has had a tough few years. He was a very promising footballer.

    Thanks for the kind sentiments my Cardiff mates; football is just a game and things like this transcend it, petty club rivalries are just that - petty. My prayers tonight go out to Ferrie and Leighton - the good news is that Leight's stroke was mild, and Ferrie, although in intensive care is expected to make a full recovery.

    Again, thanks for your kind messages of support - have posted a similar reply on the CCFC Facebook page to the messages that were all 100% supportive.

    Banter aside, have always known that you Bluebirds are a classy bunch!

    Here's hoping that you can pull of a great escape - starting with beating Sunderland on Sunday.

    Good luck and nos da! <cheers>

    Not easy for the family, Ferrie Bodde coma was induced to help him to fight against pneumonia, a massive hope that he pulls through.


    Leighton's stroke was mild but having survived 2 more serious strokes myself I can only hope that his recovery is speedy and full.

    As you say banter aside there are things more serious than football. <ok>

    A stroke is an awful thing to go through, my father has had 3, and I sincerely hope LJ recovers from his.
    Ferre is in the best hands available to him and I hope he has a quick and full recovery.
    My thoughts are with them both and their families. Get well soon guys.
