Following Hanoi President Potsy’s relocation to somewhere just outside Saigon, Hanoi has had a spill of positions. Former Coach, Willy was elected President. Stanno was elected Coach of the north. National President, Phil “Fabbo” Johns spreads the word.
Willy
To Willy and Stanno,
On behalf of all the Vietnam Swans:
- Congratulations to Willy, former Hanoi Coach, on becoming the new Hanoi President of the Vietnam Swans
- Congratulations to Stanno on becoming the new Hanoi Coach of the Vietnam Swans
Willy played in the then Hanoi Swans our first ever match back in 2003. He then returned to Australia for a short while before the irresistible lure of Hanoi brought him back. Nobody would disagree that “Willy or Won’t He” (He already has…) is somewhat passionate about his footy and the Swannies. He’s been a keen tourer, he’s been the coach of the Swannies in Hanoi and, over the last 15 months, has driven the Auskick program for school kids in Hanoi. And of course, yesterday, he became a father for the first time. Seemingly, he’s done everything.
Stanno is a relatively new recruit for the Swannies. He played his first international in August of this year against Lao in the Craig Senger Memorial match – and immediately made a big impression on the field. A fortnight ago, he made his first international tour for the Swannies travelling to Bangkok for the Indochina Cup. Again, he was a great contributor on and off the field and will be a very popular choice as coach.
All of the Vietnam Swans wish you luck and offer as much support as we can in building the Club in Hanoi.
To Potsy, the outgoing Hanoi President who has a new job near Saigon, thanks for all your efforts – and stay involved with the Club! Given you’re involved with the Hotel that will be hosting next year’s Miss World pageant, then, we’re all expecting our second photo shoot with a Miss Australia (or any Miss for that matter). Are you hearin’ us, Potsy??
Thanks again, Potsy.
Congratulations again to Willy and Stanno. And good luck!
Regards, Fabbo
