An evening with Swansea City legends Ferrie Bodde and Dorus de Vries, hosted by Paddy Cullen, with dressing-room stories and a limited meet-and-greet.
Ferrie Bodde and Dorus de Vries are coming to Theatr y Grand on Saturday 7 November, for an evening hosted by Paddy Cullen. If you've followed the Swans for a while, you'll know both names well: Bodde as one of the most gifted and popular midfielders to wear the white shirt, and de Vries as one of the finest goalkeepers in the club's history, who held the number one spot through a transformative period for the team. They're appearing together on stage, with Cullen — who presents the Ambition Is Critical podcast — leading the conversation.
The night is built around dressing-room stories and insights into life as a professional footballer, with plenty of behind-the-scenes memories of representing the Swans. They'll be talking through career highlights, promotions, and the challenges they faced along the way, as well as the bond they both still share with the supporters. It's less of a formal interview and more of a chat between two former teammates, with Cullen pulling the stories out of them.
