On 23 February 1992, Ferron suffered the infamy of conceding a late equaliser to Michelangelo Rampulla, the opposing goalkeeper for Cremonese, who became the first goalkeeper to score from open play in Serie A history.
In a 0–3 loss away to Reggiana on 23 January 1994, Ferron's heart stopped beating for some 15 seconds after a collision with an opposing striker. Luckily, he was revived shortly afterwards.[1]
He joined Verona in summer 2000. In summer 2002, he joined Serie A newcomer Como, where he competed with Alex Brunner for a starting spot. He played his last Serie A match against Modena F.C. on 27 April 2003, at the age of 37 years, 234 days. Due to Brunner's departure and the club's relegation, he became the regular starter for Como, ahead of Stefano Layeni. In the summer of 2004, he joined Bologna as a backup to Gianluca Pagliuca, who was one year younger than Ferron.
An experienced and well-rounded goalkeeper,[2] Ferron was known for his composed and efficient style of goalkeeping.[3] He possessed good intuition and a strong positional sense,[4] and was also known for his athleticism, agility, shot-stopping, punching ability, and reflexes, which enabled him to produce spectacular dives and acrobatic saves when necessary, without having to resort to histrionics;[5] moreover, he stood out for his consistency throughout his career, and was considered one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Serie A during the 1990s.[5]
