Cult hero is hospitalised after coughing up blood this weekend
Disturbing news for Swansea fans this afternoon. After becoming concerned when he coughed up some blood this weekend, Ferrie Bodde decided to seek medical advice from professionals and it's been decided to enter him into an induced coma, to fight the pneumonia he's been diagnosed with. An official statement from the hospital explained it was better for him to be able to fight the infection in this manner, and contrary to some disturbing initial reports his family have said they expect him to make a full recovery.
Much more positive than some of the tweets I saw a few hours ago, and I'm exceedingly glad that Ferrie seems ok. He could have been, and was, some player for Swansea, and I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing him a speedy recovery.
Once a jack, always a jack. All the best Ferrie!
