Football Poets

In the depths of sorrow, where pain runs deep
Where hearts are shattered and tears silently weep
A football club emerges, a beacon of hope
For bereaved fathers, a lifeline to cope

For our lost little ones, […]

In the realm of men’s camaraderie, so strong,
We gather, we bond, and we get along.
We drink together, sharing laughs and cheers,
And face the world,
conquering our fears.
In dressing rooms, our sanctuaries […]

Our family football scarf holds many memories, from its time within our clan,
Some fantastic tales come with it, as it’s passed from man to man.

Great, great granddad Jim told how he got the scarf when he went […]

But through it all, we’ve stood tall,
Defying odds, we’ll never fall.
For in our hearts, the fire’s strong,
Though times are tough, we’ll carry on.
The days of blue, they’ll fade away,
Replaced by skies of […]

Footie with Dad

When I was a toddler, I was good never bad,
All I ever thought of, was going to footie with dad.
But I was very poorly, and my mum was so sad,
She could see all I wanted, was to go to footie […]

It’s been the worse year for loss, that we can ever remember,
There’s another man down, before the end of December.
He was a friend a brother and somebody’s son,
A husband a father, a special someo […]

Roses are red, violets are blue,

B is for Ball, only one is allowed
C is for Cards, either yellow or red
D is for Defend, with feet, body and head
E is for Enjoyment, when our team wins a game
F is for […]

The many many days of blue
And dark nights we’ve all been through
They’re just passing by

The half truths and lies
And people we’ve come to despise
The sneaky cheats
And words we can’t repeat
For those who wou […]

My heart goes out to his family
And to all whose paths he crossed
I’m sure he’ll be fondly remembered
By the players that he ‘bossed’

Indeed all who ever met him
Say only good things about ‘big Keith’
Th […]

It’s a lovely town is Stockport,
a place to enjoy the famous local beer
But the one thing that could make it even better,
would be a visit from you this year

You see the Devil’s been working overtime,
to tak […]

The Devil came down to Stockport
He was looking to cause some harm
He worked his evil on Edgeley Park,
Some of its people, and also Manor Farm

He got good people to turn a blind eye
Then the bad ones to cause […]

The ‘protest’ march is on this week,
And for those who may ask “Why?”
It’s to raise the public’s awareness,
Tthat ‘our’ club is about to die
Mr. Curtis and Co. please take note,
You were brought in to help us sur […]

What could you do with 75 grand?
It could go in the bank, or straight in your hand
And I don’t mean winnings, after a lucky streak
I’m talking 75 big ones, at the end of every week

Because I’ve heard a story, abo […]
