Football Poets

I love Wednesday night’s walking football:

Illuminating childhood memories
Of yesteryear’s Aut […]

SPION KOP
“In 1903 we stood on Spion Kop
Clattering our hob-nail boots against the wall”
My grand-dad recollected this for me
When he was eighty, in Nineteen Sixty Three
Remembering a centre-half called Joe […]

the strength and power in his boot
from near or far when he would shoot
the many times I saw him play
at countless games back in the day
the archetypal number nine
who stays a legend for all time

Someone was watching Charlton in the Sixties
Someone was watching Lampard in the Noughties
Someone was watching Best in the Sixties
Someone was watching Beckham in the Noughties
Someone was watching […]

anyone who’s been here
anyone at all
anyone who loves their club

Wanderers fans divided
Ian Evatt is to blame
Fans are going mental
Because we don’t win every game
But many have a solution
They think they know it all
Then get them to the training ground
with a track s […]

Luton v Everton

In the heart of things

People

And my thought about
Luton 1 Everton 1

27th October 1990

We’ll play it safe and get there for sunrise.
Driving to Croydon, any day,

So when should we leave? When will w […]

In the realm of men’s camaraderie, so strong,
We gather, we bond, and we get along.
We drink together, sharing laughs and cheers,
And face the world,
conquering our fears.
In dressing rooms, our sanctuaries […]

Our family football scarf holds many memories, from its time within our clan,
Some fantastic tales come with it, as it’s passed from man to man.

Great, great granddad Jim told how he got the scarf when he went […]

Proactive

Give us
idea of moving
Everton to La Liga
Then we can compete with
Bilbao and Real Sociedad
Atletico Madrid and Betis
May we build our new stadium

But through it all, we’ve stood tall,

Though times are tough, we’ll carry on.
The days of blue, they’ll fade away,
Replaced by skies of […]
