Football Poets

Wayne Rooney swearing
and so turning the air blue
potty mouth player.

Rooney looks angry
as if he wants a good fight
who’s he angry with ?

Schoolboys role model
you must be having a laugh ?
Rooney needs […]

Some people like to talk about politics
or what they’ve watched on T.V.
many go on about their holidays
while others chat about cars or Astrology.

But me I like to talk about Football
as I’ve got lots of stories […]

Think I’ll have a bath and an early night
got a big game away tomorrow
meeting the lads outside the pub
coach arriving eight a.m. sharp.

Struggling to get to sleep though
how I hate these relegation […]

Have you got broad shoulders
And a masochistic streak
Can you withstand lots of pressure
Be the centre of attention every week ?
Well I’ve just the job for you
Seeing you’ve got thick skin
There’s a shortage of […]

They do half put us through it
Every season is like Groundhog Day
It’s as if they’re trying to kill us off
By being rubbish almost each Saturday.

Like Jools I’m a Coventry City supporter
Sky Blue blood running […]

I thought it must be a joke
kids having to use a soft sponge ball
why not wrap them up in cotton wool
just in case they trip over and fall ?

This is health and safety gone mad
is this Malvern teacher a bit of a […]

Sorry we don’t stock burgers anymore
And that goes for steak and kidney pies too
But I do recommend the prawn sandwiches
Or how about you try some of our Tofu ?

What’s Tofu when it’s at home ?
Sounds like a […]

I’ve a confession to make,
I’ve loved you for all this time
from the very first moment
I became aware of you.

I was only a young boy
but age never meant a thing
even when my mother said
nothing good will come of […]

I’m feeling sick in my stomach
But it’s not from a dodgy bacon batch
I get this now on a regular basis
And always after watching my team in a match.

They lift my spirits for a short while
But then leave me with a […]

I can’t quite believe it
I’ve reached my century
Who’d have thought it
Me a football fan from Coventry.

One hundred and still going strong
Is that a fanfare I hear ?
Will you be celebrating with champagne ?
Nah, […]

Richard Keys linesman
Andy Gray the referee
Womens football match.
Ladies in the crowd
Shouting abuse at the ref
Linesman gets it too.
“Go to Specsavers ref,
Don’t you know the offside rule,
What about you […]

Women referees
Females running down the lines
Your having a laugh ?

So prehistoric
Andy Gray and Richard Keys
Females are not happy.

Bob Dylan spot on
Sang : Times they are a changing
Even for Andy.

Banter at […]

Why do you love football Kevin ?
What do you see in it ?
Why not watch another sport
Like Rugby, Golf, or Cricket ?

Well let me answer that my friend
And put your mind at rest
I love the beautiful game
Because […]

Grew up listening to my Dads tales
About all these great football stars
He would tell me about Tom Finney
Stanley Matthews, Duncan Edwards.

He would talk about players I saw in books
Black and white pictures of […]

What is a football fan ?
What makes them stand out ?
To me they love their team
Their loyalty is never in doubt.

They stick with their club always
Even when the chips are down
The true fan keeps on going
When the […]

She says I’m football crazy
And I’m football mad
If I don’t pack it in
She’ll move in with her Dad.

So if she wants to play her silly games
I’ll go and help her pack her suitcase
Anyway I’ve got a lot on my […]

Snowand ice on pitch
Red noses on football fans
Boxing Day fixtures

My best Christmas match ?
Cov City five Norwich four
Great Christmas present (1977.)

Got my new shirt on
Freezing on the terraces
Worn under a […]

Wayne Rooney : A dictionary, so I can look up words I don’t understand such as, Gratitude and humble.

Carlos Tevez : Gloves and lots of Snoods.

Gareth Bale : Can you make me English ?

Roy Carroll : A modern […]

Once upon a time there was a great player
When he used to score a goal or two
I remembered how well he’d play for hours
In awe of all the good things he used to do.

Those were the days my friend
He thought they’d […]

Going down the corner shop
Pocket money in my hand
Football cards of players
And teams like England.
I’ll swap you Best for Greaves
And my Spain for your Italy
Getting all excited now
Because I’ve just got […]
