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.
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!
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.
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.
same to leighton james, hope to see him back spewing his bullshit on a radio station soon…. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27119828
