I think my Football is dying
and it hasn’t got long to go
but when I tell people about it
most of them don’t want to know.But real Football fans understand
what your club means to you
because without it life […] -

instead of sitting in the stands.Bring back the three o’clock kick off
for all matches on a Saturday
and let us pay on the turnstiles

We entertain Swindon Town tomorrow
as the Robins fly into the Ricoh
it should be a passionate match
even without the fiery Di Canio.But we need to win the game
to keep the top six in sight
but we have to play […] -

If you go down to Forest Green today
you’re sure of a big surprise
as you won’t find trace of Horse

with not a sausage roll in sight
so instead of a […] -

Our manager said he loved the club
and he wasn’t about to leave
but I’ve just heard he’s off
so he had something up his sleeve.So to me he was deceitful
and is just a two faced creep
how can you treat us so […] -

can his ego grow any higher ?

there’s talk he may even be the Messiah.The press act like girly teenagers
when they see him in his car
they treat him […] -

the Ball Boy or the player
two wrongs make a right ?Me thinks […]

in that we’re all […] -

We’ve been given until Boxing Day

financially it’s in a […] -

Some remain calm
others scream and shout
some want to fight
and get thrown out.Some I’m afraid are racist
a sad reflection of society
others sing obscene songs
and taunt the enemy.Some live and breath […]

Great poem Mike Bartram. Eddie was a legend, affectionately known in Liverpool as, “the first hooligan.” Even the hoolies were well dressed in those days. The amazing thing was he was only 26 when that picture was taken. He’d played for Everton youth team and was well known to the players. He never got arrested. They threw him out and he climbed back in, just in time for Derek Temples winner.
I used the picture of him being tackled to the ground on the front cover of my book, “Once Upon a rhyme in Football.” It’s worth looking on youtube and finding the re-enactment of the Wembley scene. Frank Skinner and Baddiel went around to Eddies home in the 1990’s and acted it out on the green outside. It’s hilarious, especially all the effort they put in to get Eddie sober enough to shoot the scene.

Hi Crispin,
I don’t know if you’ve see the picture in social media today…
a picture of a teenage Lionel Messi cradling a baby in Africa as part of a photoshoot…. the family had won a lottery to have their baby pictured with him….
the photographer has just revealed that the baby is actually in fact Lamine Yamal!!!!

Hi Denys…
Re Man City:
OK it was 20 years ago but Criag Wilson did write this and a few others on them back in 04/05.
BTW I’m more Forest Green Rover since 2014 (and Chelsea) these days . I drum and am a standing season ticket holder .

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

With you all the way on the abolition of FA Cup replays. What are they doing to the game?
