Football Poets

I bet they’re shakin’ in their shorts
And scared to come and play
Hopin’ that it rains and rains
With snow and ice and hail
I bet they’ve begged the gaffa
“Ah Boss they’re just too good”
And he has threatened and […]

Liverpool Fc is Forever
All who walk with us
Will never walk alone
But those who walk alone
Choose to
They alone.

What night is this of blood and stars
But sleep it cannot bring
The night that bids its phoenix home
But will not heal its wings,

What songs are these that pull me now
Like ships across the sea
And call out to […]

We wanderers of the oceans skies
We pirates of the storm
We sail above the cool of night
Where kings and queens are born

And stars that quickly steal away
Are harbour for the soul
Keep all such dreams so warm and […]

And those bruises that blossomed like roses
And those wishes that died on the vine
All here in the shadows that cling to
The promise of water and wine

And day is for fishers of wisdom
Whose yoke is the burden of […]

Lennon gave me songs to sing
Lydon gave me a cause
But Kenny Dalglish like Jesus
Gave me miracles by the score
Van Gogh gave me starry nights
The Brontes passion’s lure
But Kenny Dalglish at Anfield
Gave me […]

In the year of Our Lord nineteen fourteen
The call came for lads to join up with a team
So they packed up their boots with their hopes and dreams
And they offered their hearts for the price of a shilling

For the […]

The glory boys of Istanbul
Have made us Reds so proud
The summer’s songs a verse or two
Anthemic Liver sounds
The path to Paris hastens all
Who wish to taste the vine
Where will we be this time next year
With “Big […]

The England girls they did their best
And made themselves a name
They gave their all and made us proud
For the Women’s game

No sex no drugs just rock and roll
No kiss and tell red tops
Just goals sublime and […]

Just got me tickets
For in the Kop to welcome
Ol’ Big Ears back ‘ome!

In me Liverpool home in me Liverpool home
5 European Cups and 18 Leagues
And if you want UEFA’S then we’ll show yer 3
6 FA Cups all came to Anfield
In me Liverpool home

We meet in the kop we’re 12th man on the […]

A long, long time ago… I can still remember how
His football used to make me smile.
And he knew if he had a chance,
That he could make that terrace dance,
And make the people happy for a while
But September […]

Footballers
Heroes Villains
Chipping lobbing scoring
Footballers living our dreams
Anfield.

I saw 5 cups there in me dreams
Bright shinin’ stars they were
The names of legends glorious
Beside the LiverBird

Shankly Paisley Fagan smiled
The Reds they fought like lions
Not once not twice they came from […]

A vision in red
As he smiles well on-side there
Lord Frodsham is wed!

The big mountain moved
And Shankly not Mohammed
Walked around Ron Yeats.

Spanish Armada
Docks up in Liverpool Bay
Locals cheer with joy.

I have no country
But my home is Liverpool
And so is my flag.

The Pride […]

From dark into light
Mined from granite and passion
Bill Shankly Jock Stein.

Walk on through the storm
The anthem of football’s soul
5 Big Cups come home.

A new baby cries
Swaddled in a “Libpool” scarf
Red passion is born.

Forged steel and gold merge
“A great day to be alive”
Shankly […]

Jamie Carragher
Stands beside the Red Mersey
A red sea of passion.

Rafa Benitez
Like the ghost of chairman Mao
Shankly’s spirit smiles.

The boots of Dalglish
Passed around the maths classoom
Precise angles […]
