Football Poets

Meet in the pub
Have a few beers
Banter with away fans
“What’s the score gonna be ?”

Make way to the ground
Soak up the atmosphere
Quick flick through the programme
Have a winge at the ref .

Half time pie and […]

Players from years gone by
paraded on the pitch, some you
remember, others well before your time.
“Best winger we ever had, plant the ball
on a sixpence, and he could use both feet too,
not one footed like […]

I’ve seen lots and lots of great goals
Some scored by greats like Greaves and Law
Bobby Charlton, Ron and Wyn Davies,
and Forests very own, Ian Storey- Moore.

I can recall one scored by a young Gascoigne
He […]

So our F.A.Cup run is now over
But Chelsea were the much better team
They were always in complete control
Thus ending our Wembley hopes and dream.

But we enjoyed it nevertheless
We had some fun along the way
The […]

In the cup we first beat Kidderminster
Then we won away at Torquay
Now we’ve overcame Blackburn Rovers
For the right to play mighty Chelsea.

The atmosphere was truly electric
At the Ricoh on tuesday night
The Sky […]

Jumpers down for goalposts
Using a plastic ball
Playing out in all weather
Stopping play at nightfall.

No replica kits on display
No gloves on our hands
No rings or earrings
No girlie Alice Bands.

If you’re […]

The Sky Blue fans travelled up to Ewood Park
A mass of Sky Blue, five thousand strong
We never stopped singing and cheering
Behind the team all the game long.

It’s a good job we fans made the effort
In a stadium […]

Anfield Kop in the 60/70’s what a sound.
Bobby Moore lifting the World Cup, iconic moment.
Coventry City my home town team, a fan forever.
Donkey kick by Ernie Hunt in 1970. Match of the Day’s goal of the […]

Just like us celebrities love their football
Birmingham City is the team for Jasper Carrott
Noel and Liam Gallagher follow Man City
And Everton is the one for Snookers John Parrott.

Angus Deayton is a regular at […]

David Speedie is my number one villain
He was a firebrand, a real hothead
Playing today he wouldn’t last long
For all the cards of yellow and red.

Playing with heart firmly on his sleeve
And with lots of passion […]

It was the F.A.Cup Final of the season 1986-87
Coventry City were playing Tottenham Hotspur
The Spurs were the bookies red hot favourites
But the Sky Blues fans and team did not concur.

Spurs had Ray Clemence […]

They say it’s lost it’s sparkle
And it’s not like it used to be
When the Davids fought the Goliaths
In the quest to get to Wembley.

Even for a credit crunch and recession
The attendances were a bit low
But the […]

What with the credit crunch and recession
And newspapers full of bad news
It’s great that we’ve always got our football
To keep us from hitting the valium or booze.

At least on a Saturday we’re not in the […]

i’ve got a horrible confession to make
I once was a seventies soccer hooligan
Not something I’ve ever been proud of
Because I call myself a real football fan.

The seventies was a really crazy time
Football […]

Balls shaken in bag
Lots of different numbers
Third round lottery.

Coventry City home
Kidderminster play away
Cup shock on the cards ?

What has every club got in common
The answer is they’ve all got a nickname
From the giants of the Premier League
To the lowly who play the beautiful game.
The Scottish ones are a fan’s delight
For example Clyde […]

If all these great writers
Were still alive in these days
I believe they’d all be soccer fans
And write about it in magazines and plays.

Who’s the best ever british keeper
To wear the number one top?
It’s got to be Ray Clemence
Sing the scousers on the Kop.

Nah, the best of them all was Pat Jennings
Proclaim the spurs fans at White Hart Lane
With […]
