Football Poets

He’s as fit as a fiddle
can run around all day,
got loads of stamina
and just loves to play.
Yet he shuns the gym
and will never lift a weight,
has a liking for Red Bull
which makes him feel great.
He used to be a […]

I dreamt I was George Best
dribbling down the wing,
beating defenders with ease
cutting inside and shooting.
I imagined I was Gordon Banks
the greatest keeper by far,
saving shot after shot
tipping Pele’s header […]

The squad has been picked
twenty six players strong,
do you agree with Roy
where has he got it wrong ?
Would you have chosen Wilshire
who we know is injury prone ?
he picks up so many knocks
always nursing a […]

Them sly foxes
who play in blue,
bookies reckoned
they hadn’t a clue.
Them crafty foxes
would finish low,
relegation for them
so down they go.
Them cunning foxes
were written off,
little old Leicester
the experts […]

He flies through the air
as if he’s been shot,
he screams for a penalty
but the referee says not.
He punches the pitch in anger
dummy he spits out,
jumping to his feet
he swears like a lout.
He does it again
time […]

The Sky Blues are going well
playing some great football,
us long suffering fans are happy
heads held high and standing tall.

The Sky Blues near the top
automatic promotion the aim,
the Ricoh is now a […]

Are managers cracking up
unable to stand the pace ?
they’re losing their tempers
and going red in the face.

Many are ranting and raving
and being sent to the stand,
using foul and abusive language
getting huge […]

Jimmy Hill started a revolution
he had his Sky Blue dream,
the bearded one was our messiah
and he built a winning team.

But that was way back in the sixties
a time when kids had rattles in their hands,
when […]

Get up nice and early
jump out of the bed,
feel like a kid at Christmas
ready for the big day ahead.

First game of a new season
the sun always seems to shine,
all of life’s worries forgot about
footballs back and […]

I’ve always loved the Cup Final
ever since I was a young lad,
I’d be glued to the telly for hours
and so was my football loving dad.

I liked watching all of the build up
on how the two teams got there,
I’d […]

They creep into our clubs
pretend to be angels of light,
but really they’re demonic
like thieves in the night.

They like to show off their wealth
sports cars and diamond rings,
they promise fans this and that
and […]

I loved the old grounds
fans packed in tight,
huge towering floodlights
turned on for games at night.

I travelled around the country
on the coach and by train,
watched my team at Roker Park
in the open air hit by […]

My favourite ever footballer
and what a warm and funny bloke,
but I’ve just heard the sad news
that Jimmy has had a stroke.

I first saw him play when I was a lad
watching from the terraces in awe,
he took my […]

So Chelsea will be champions
their fans elated at the Bridge,
but watching them play is as exciting
as staring at a pot of yoghurt in a fridge.

Let’s face the truth and be honest
the Premier League is second […]

The pressure is now on
you toss and turn at night,
will your team stay up
or is it a relegation fight ?

The pressure is now on
you need points to survive,
but your team is struggling
and they’ve just let in […]

Steven Pressley has been sacked
Elvis has left the building in a huff,
the board had lost their patience
and the City fans said they’d had enough.

But Pressley really tried his best
yet results had not gone his […]

There’s something really special
when you’re just a young lad,
about going to a game
with your football loving dad.

“We’ll win today dad won’t we ?”
of course we will he replied,
“the opposition are […]

She said he was unromantic
a cold fish of a guy,
he much preferred football
drinking beer and having a pie.

She said he was unromantic
wished she never became his bride,
as even on their honeymoon
he sneaked off […]

Sir Winston Churchill
was a truly great man,
but just imagine if
he’d been a football fan.

As the manager of England
his words would motivate,
he’d lift the players morale
and make poor players great.

His teams […]
