    I’ve just received a wonderful late wedding anniversary present from my dear wife – ‘Stanley Bagshaw and the short-sighted football trainer’, written and illustrated by Bob Wilson (no, not THAT Bob Wilson. I don’t think so, anyway). All the Stanley Bagshaw books are in verse. I used to love reading another one of them to my kids a lifetime ago. Here’s just a snippet: “And here we have Huddersgate Albion, / Looking possibly rather less sleek, / Albion, fielding an unchanged side / From the one / that lost eight-nil last week”. Now THAT’S football poetry!
