Of a certain persuasion
Captain in the Football League
As the first British Asian

Every team needs a talisman
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Working his Wembley magic again

Hard nosed and rock solid stopper
Ashington lad who never give up
A rock beside Bobby Moore
When England won the World Cup

With the greatest Eire team of all
Euro 88, Italia 90
USA 94, Jack, the folk […]

Brighton 1-3 Liverpool

Risky when you don’t change
When Liverpool press high

Sir Geoff Hurst once told me
When I was not much younger
Football can more than do it’s bit

Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa

Followed by a period of disjoint

In Chelsea playing games
Edged on clean sheets by Petr Cech
Some of the clubs greatest names
