Football Poets

great lines Phil…

great verse Andrew

great lines there Eddie…

You & me both!

I ended up playing Hockey instead, i was just so unsuited to rugby.

And there was footy talent there… We won the schools cup with a scratch team in our last year (we were the last intake, school shut down when we left – couldn’t better us!)

(Am planning to watch the BT Dover match at the Green Man)

great verse ..(and poem)

One of my best mates is a lifelong Wolves fan and used to sell pies at the match many moons ago..

.I was lucky enough  to see the mighty Wolves in the early 60s at the Bridge…Wright Broadbent Williams et al..

Sentiment shared… happened to me so many times..especially overseas ..where they really don’t really know what they can get until they try!

My moral is always don;t order a drink til you know it’s on and allow enough time to get to the other places on when there is a few big games on a few channels! But ti sit in ‘your’chair …unbelievable!

Hi Crispin. Yes you’re correct you have to believe or you may as well give up and take up crown green bowls or kite flying on a Saturday afternoon instead then ! We are going through it as fans and going to matches these days you get City supporters arguing with other City supporters,and many not bothering to go at all while our vile owners are here, so the atmosphere at times is hostile.All this nastiness has brought back the bad old days of hooliganism too,and recently a nasty brawl before a match resulted in two fans getting glassed in a pub. So its no fun being a Cov fan these days,but surely the good times will come soon ? Kev.

Hi Gacina. Pleased you enjoyed my poem much appreciated. The Ernie Hunt/Willie Carr “donkey kick” goal was awesome, and I was stood behind the goal that match verses Everton.It was featured every Saturday night at the start of Match Of The Day,and you could spot the top of my head in amongst the City fans.My fifteen minutes of fame then ! Micky Quinn ( Sumo) to us fans, was a Sky Blue legend and I think he’s the last player to score a hat trick against Arsenal ? Definitely at Highbury anyway. Great memories. Cheers. Kev.
