Planet Swans ArchivesIt will always be something for me that I wish I had seen when I think of Ferrie playing for us in the Premier League but sadly that opportunity was never afforded to him after he missed out on this era having to cut short his career due to injury.
He scored 14 goals in those 59 games which I think tells you much in terms of his abilities in midfield and he is now back in his native Holland on the coaching staff at ADO Den Haag.
He now watches the Swans from afar but he is delighted for his former captain Garry Monk who is of course now the Swans manager and believes that he was the best man for the job
รขโฌลI am delighted that Garry Monk is now manager of the club, they are doing really well.
รขโฌลI laughed when I first heard with happiness. I was on the phone to Thomas Butler and we laughed together and said รขโฌหhe did it, he did itรขโฌโข
รขโฌลHe is the best person now for Swansea รขโฌโ he has the mix of every coach in Martinez, Rodgers, Laudrup and Sousa.
รขโฌลHe was a really good captain too. If I tell people here in Holland what used to give me goose bumps it was the huddle before the match รขโฌโ the words that he used showed he was a real leader.
รขโฌลHe used to say that we needed to win as a team, we were brothers, a family and there was a big togetherness at Swansea and still is.
รขโฌลAll the players like him, all the players at the club like him so he was the best person for the job.รขโฌย
You can watch the first part of the Swans YouTube channel interview with Ferrie Bodde below but itรขโฌโขs great to hear from him again and especially the fact that he is still very much watching the Swans
