    I’m sat on a cheap bus
    Going to FC Groningen v. AZ
    The last day in my forties
    Not long til I’m dead.
    Hopefully that’s a while yet
    It’s day like this I’ll miss
    Thought they had gone forever
    When I was […]

    I’m at a club called Volendam
    I’ve been here once before
    The ground has completely changed
    And I can’t recall the score.
    It would have been very early Nineties
    As booze was just getting a grip
    Soon every […]

    Football can be rubbish
    Such a pile of cack
    What a difference a week makes
    The Dulwich boys are back!
    From humiliation at home
    Thrashed by an average Harrow Borough
    To going on a long mid-weeker to […]

    In the extremely unlikely circumstance
    Where I was offered a gong
    Would I choose to accept it
    When selling out my principles is wrong?
    I’m not from African stock
    So no forebears turning in their grave
    I […]

    We’re away to AFC Sudbury
    The first game is here
    So why am I so miserable
    Unable to raise a cheer?
    That’s the problem with work
    It pays for the games I go
    But when I’m stuck in the library
    The day drags […]

    Perhaps it’s the fact they’re rubbish
    That brings me back again
    Millwall Lionesses playing Bristol City
    Tonight here at The Den.
    It’s a pleasant evening
    Something to do after work
    I’m just here for the […]

    It’s an unseasonal summer Sunday
    Sat in a sunny Glasgow non-league ground
    A very minor womens football game
    With hardly any people around.
    This is Benburb FC
    Who had a proud old ground next door
    Now on that plot […]

    Right now I’m full of sadness
    At the Adolf-Jager football ground
    Not sure if this is my last visit
    Soon it won’t be around.
    A new home will be built
    But new stadiums are never the same
    Gone will be the ghosts that […]

    I can’t believe it’s finally arrived
    Cup Final day at last
    Something I have long dreamed for
    Coming round so fast.
    Yet it’s got nothing to do with Dulwich Hamlet
    Or Millwall in the play-offs tomorrow
    It’s the […]

    Two minutes left on the clock
    The Hamburg Cup was almost ours
    The Altona ‘Class of 2016’
    Would go down in folklore as stars.
    But then Norderstedt had that last chance
    Found the back of the net
    Deep down I knew it […]

    Calming my nerves at half-time
    That’s what poetry’s for
    I really can’t believe it
    One nil’s the current score.
    With this be a famous giant-killing
    I think I know the story…
    Always the inevitable
    Instead of a […]

    It’s funny how as you get older
    Your dreams they start to fade
    All those hopes of Wembley
    They begin to shade.
    Amateur Cup quarter final
    Back in Seventy Four
    Too young to understand how close we were
    Almost one […]

    They say back in the day in Bermondsey
    A sack of spuds could wear a red rosette
    And Labour would still be elected
    It was such a safe bet.
    Such blind loyalty is how I feel
    About some of our ‘New-veau’ fans
    Almost […]

    Almost there
    It’s Christmas Eve
    Looking forward to it
    Even though I don’t believe.
    Weather forecast’s ok
    Football at the weekend
    Groundhopping again.
    First my Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday
    For my holiday treat
    Then […]

    Is that a bandwagon?
    Can’t you hear the noise?
    Time to pile down The New Den
    We’re all lifelong Millwall boys.
    In the Tinpot Paintpot area final
    Just one round from Wembley Way
    Dreaming of another game under the […]

    Some grounds are unlucky
    We call it all a jinx
    Just bad luck or not good enough
    Despite what everyone thinks.
    We tend to struggle at Bognor
    That seems the rule of thumb
    Which is why when you mention them
    We come […]

    I wonder where you were
    When I was just a child
    If you had been in existence
    Would I have been so wild?
    I was never good at football
    But you would not have taken the mick
    It’s all about respect and […]

    We’ve all got strange quirky hobbies
    Pray tell what is it you do?
    Do you have a love of animals
    And can’t resist a zoo.
    Perhaps you’re nerdy old fashioned
    Call yourself a trainspotter
    Or keep on writing […]

    It all seemed far too clinically clean
    Newly built spick and span
    But I didn’t come for the surroundings
    I came to say goodbye to a great man.
    Nearly three decades since you left London
    But you never lost your […]
