He`s a cracking lad is Fabrice but he`s got a lot to learn
And a certain part of his game is a cause for some concern
He wins the ball from opponents then tries a shot from far
But every time Muamba shoots the […] -

Big Phil had an idea that no one could ignore
His mind’s been working overtime to make the Reebok roar.
Not happy with the atmosphere he`d give anything a try
He may well get a Wembley song courtesy of M […] -

Not a dry eye in sight from the fans in assembly

Instead he wants to leave us and desert the sinking boat
Well be better off w […] -

Let us all imagine just what it would be like
If the Wanderers were successful in their premiership plight
A top six place or a European spot
For most of us supporters that would top the lot

I went to the Alaves game on Tuesday night,

On top of my ticket and car parking fees,
Two pints of weak […] -

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.
