Football Poets

In 1884 two groups of cricket clubs joined
Belmont and Lyndhurst the blue and white born
The name Tranmere Rovers is blessed 1885
Borough Road from the rugby club Tranmere prize

The West Lancashire League is the […]

A local lad just like Bill Dean
Haunts defenders down the wing
Laces up his boots with dynamite
Cos he’s a homegrown Wirralite

Nearly 34 “Old Spice” still the best
He’s Head and Shoulders above the rest
Blood and […]

Raul is King of Real Madrid
And he plays the part so well
Commanding down the flanks he prowls
A genie casting spells

Humey’s just a young lad
And he’s learning well his trade
And Prenton Park’s a Berne […]

Forget about Ali and his famous on the ropes tricks
The shimmy of Matthews and Finneys flicks
You can keep Roberto Carlos and his banana free kicks
Ronaldo’s fancy step overs are just for kids
Pele was a diamond […]

Such beautiful football
Graceful and effortless
Monet’s brushes aching in heaven
To capture his light
As the ball appears lost
Whenever Eto’o leaves the pitch.

Some players can handle pressure
Like cookers they adjust the regulo
Pull up their socks and get on with the job
Michael Owen is such a player
In the oven of the Bernabeu
The fires stoked by a frenzied media
And […]

The FA Cup crash with Traore’s own goal
The Carling Cup final the Matalan coat
The EPL over will we find thirty points?
Well the CL we’re in and we’re in with a shout

Liverpool and Juventus met on April 5th
Sami […]

In goal there’s “Nicko” as steady as stone
Swapped blue for white and found a new home
Right back is Yatesy a machine scoring goals
In the Cup he was magic – St Yates Day now known!

From the youth ranks McGreal […]

Tough as nails and hard as steel
Packs his boots with “never say die”
Everyone knows when “Ranks” is on the field
Especially strikers trying to get by!

Everyone’s been having a bit of a moan
About Rafa’s dedication to marking the zone
But if Juve had abandoned their man marking
Then Sami wouldn’t have scored our first goal!

The Golden Shot from Luis G
Sweet left foot won’t miss
Forged in the fires of Europe’s Premier Prize
The Reds in throes of bliss

The Kop roared on the Rafa Song
La Bamba filled the skies
Sami’s goal grand to […]

Bill, Bob and Joe all smiling down
The Reds they did them proud
And 3 Grand men of Liverpool
Stood with the Anfield crowd

Hands of friendship far and wide
The wounds of past must heal
It’s football first across […]

What a performance
From the 19 year old
The ref was so impressed
An equity card
Followed the red.

If I could be anyone
I’d be the Anfield King
With goals galore I’d gladly score
I’d make the Kopites sing
Rush up front I’d thread the ball
With Digger on the wing
If I could be anyone
King Kenny I would be.

Alright Joe
How’s life in Heaven’s Bootroom?
Giving the lads some stick I bet
Well I know you’ll be with us tonight
With Shanks and Bob
Some painful memories for you Joe
We know your big heart broke
Out there on […]

Fredi Kanoute
Is really a cutie
The football at home by his toes
He’s lean and he’s lithe
With impossible style
A footballer fashioned for prose!

Between kisses
A blur of boots
Yes I love you
How could he miss that?
Yes, I said I love you
Did you see that miss?
What?

Looked good in Red
But the wrong red (for me at least)
Showed Keane his path
Number 7 Stretford King
French wonderstuff
Taught the ball a lesson
It would never forget
And now?
Well, it’s thanks for the […]
