1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The Ice cream man has stuck his oar in
A Millwall legend too
All we need now is Johnny Giles

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Chippy Brady’s in the frame
And the other joke O’Leary

The job I thought was for one in football
And all this new age speak is troubling.

Those who seem to do a great job of international team management without ever having set foot in the hot bed of the arena. Give me the right hump. The low-lifes.
