Canadian Soccer Legend Drew Ferguson Interview

Episode #2

As a kid playing soccer in Powell River BC , we all knew who Drew Ferguson was. He was living myself and and all my soccer Buds dreams playing professional soccer all over the world. It was really cool to have someone from my home town being famous in our eyes and a role model to look up to.

It wasn’t until I was in my 20’s I met Drew. Everybody called Him Fergy. He came back from a break in the pro ranks and started to coach and play for the team I played for. Powell River Villa senior Division 1 team that plays in the Vancouver Island league.

Our team held are own but with Fergy running the show it all changed. No disrespect to the coaches in the past but respect to them to stepping down and doing what’s best for Powell River Villa. Obviously Fergy brought His soccer skills but what he did for our group in coaching, leadership and swagger put us over the top.

Example We are in Victoria playing teams that if there was a ranking they would be in top 10 in Canada. We would have the who’s of soccer coming out to watch and hanging with team for beers after the game and after hours. Ferg brought swagger and gave our group confidence on and off the field. It was really cool to see.

I don’t have to explain Fergy’s resume here because if you watch the full video, it’s all there.

Very proud to interview Fergy and I hope you enjoyed it.

Much Love Your Host Willy.
