What could of been š®
As much as people adore Bodde I do have to wonder how he would have done against better players.
From what I know of him he was blessed with prodigious talent but no great intellect. A bit like Jonjo Shelvey. All the ability in the World but minimal processing capacity.
In all likelihood PL players would have managed him for the most part but it's nice to dream.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Check this out from another player who didnāt quite make it for some reason. You are spot on with the Jonjo comparison but Boddes injury will always leave him in the category of could have been fantastic. With jonjo he always had the next Steven Gerrard milestone around his neck also didnāt care enough to be great. He got the England call up and everything, But then you only got to think of the Oxford fa cup game to get an idea on how professional he was. I donāt ever think I have seen a player that couldnāt be arsed to play as much to be honest mate, He was built up and it got to the lads head. Shame really. When I think shelvey I think 50 yard passes that would land on a 5p coin. When you think bodde dam he could hit it. Look at the next clip for a great example of a player with potential that never really made it.
In all my many years supporting the swans, this goal is right up there. Two of the most nerve wracking games Iāve ever witnessed in that play off semi. But, what a feeling after Pratley did this. One of the best feelings and atmospheres Iāve ever witnessed down the liberty.

The best goal that never was from Steve Jenkins. Canāt find any footage. This game was abandoned with six minutes to go. FA Cup tie. Alan Ball was Exeter manager, those who recall will know he had a high pitched Squeeky voice. When the lights went out all you could hear was āleave āem š„ off, leave āem š„ off.ā We were in the seats right next to the players tunnel.
Jenkins goal was a superb strike from way out.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

Keith Iām sure I remember listening to this game on the radio. Iām pretty sure it was during a time where we played Exeter in 2 or 3 different cup competitions, & a league game, all in the space of a few weeks. Pretty sure we won the āre-matchā down at St Jamesās 5-2. And I think we beat Oxford away on penalties in the 3rd round (they were 2nd division, us in the 3rd). I was only 19 at the time, and I remember I couldnāt believe weād beaten the āmightyā Oxford on their own patch!!
