Football Poets

Now Gabriel went down to Anfield
And walked with the Kopites in Red
Took in the sights of the miracles
And thought “We’ve bugger all like this with God!”
He stood in the Kop with his red scarf
Held high o’er his […]

I was raised up besides the red Mersey
On tales of the grand Anfield lads
From Stubbins to Liddell then Shankly
Who brought us the best in the land
The Red scarves I saw as my sunsets
The Red shirt my welcoming […]

I couldn’t do the things Dalglish could do
Although I tried, didn’t give up
Kept practising every Saturday
After the match, parks, walls, streets
Didn’t really matter, it was Anfield
I was never going to be a new […]

The Dutch Triumvirate
Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten
Brought their paints and brushes
To the Rossoneri
Tassotti and Maldini
With the magician Baresi
Costacurta imperious
Gifts from the gods
Second only to fire.

Now Kevin la I’ll take the bait
And answer all your questions
I won’t even make yer wait
And let this be a lesson!

Our Rafa is a quiet man
Dignified for sure
He wont go running down the line
Winding Shed’eds over […]

Do you know the way to skin Jose
We’ve been waiting oh so long
Is this the way to Matalan
We want a coat that’s just as long
Rafa’s lads will do the business
Lacostie Trackies all the way
SO
Now we know the way to […]

Down to the smoke
Me La and me
To watch the Reds and Blues
The Anfield men we can depend
Have come this way to win
And not to lose

Now London pubs
Are all me ****
The water freely flows
The beers warm the […]

I hate it when we’re down to the last few games
A handful of chances a bootful of dreams
And a trophy room full of hopes,
Missed chances, maybe’s, should’ve beens
Well, its not quite over yet
Still two Euro games […]

The mighty whites a proud tradition
Founders of the football league
First Double Winners “The Invincibles”
Sir Tom Finney played here and Bill Shankly

Now Billy Davies leads the lads out
The North End heroes play […]

The streets of London paved with Reds
Down the to the Bridge me ma she said
“Yer can’t go there like London Town
They’ll hear yer accent do yer down”

“But ma” I pleaded “lerruz go
These Cockney no-marks they wont […]

He’s got Red hair
He’s a sound Scouse flare
Djibril Cisse!

We get one life
It’s ours to live
To do with as we will
To pass exams
In crowded halls
Or passes on a
Football pitch

We live one life
It’s ours to be
The best the we can be
Respect each other
Cheer our […]

I wasn’t bullied because I was short
I wasn’t bullied because I was fat
I wasn’t bullied because I was thin
I wasn’t bullied because I was black

I wasn’t bullied because I was Catholic
I wasn’t bullied because I […]

I know Wayne Rooney
Has wonderful skills
On a football pitch
But the celebrity status
That snakes its way into
Farce and front page news
Makes me yawn
And frown
And wish that someone somewhere
Would take him […]

Bobby Moore is a hero
Not once did he
Thump
Snarl
Bite
Swear
Punch
Kick
Cheat
Dive
Moan
Threaten
Maim
BULLY…
Bobby Moore won the World Cup
And when he died February 2003
The World shed its tears
Unashamedly
For […]

Down the old terrace houses
Round the back of a dozen pubs
The venders selling bags of chips
Nowdays its hot dogs

There’s scarves and flags in red
And the accents all well known
And when I’m walking down this […]

They say he’s like King Kenny
He can boss a game for sure
He switches play controls the ball
And sprays it 60 yards or more
He slices through defences
Leaves their tactics all for dust
And in the red of […]

Dreaming of League Titles
FA Cup wins
And the Big Cup
The “silver kettle”
I was King Kev running Berti ragged
Til he begged for mercy
With a schoolboy lunge
Vogts had no breath left
So they gave him oxygen
At […]
