Football Poets on MySpace
So it’s back. Sven’s at County, City are the boys under the palm trees and AFC and Luton are in the Conference. Ably supported by a local and manager-less Forest Green Rovers I add . Hey ho.
You’ve got the new kit , (in your mind)… renewed your season ticket, (in your mind).. bought everything going (in your mind), memorised the fixture list, (in your mind).. laminated it up to A3 and marked off televised away games (if you’re that lucky) on your Greenpeace /Official Club Calendar .
And that’s just about the rest of the year, and probably your ‘supposed to be precious’ life sorted too ? .Those with partners tread carefully, with regard to key date arrangements and stuff.Is it gonna be ‘same old-same old’? Probably but we continue, here in our 10th year online, (in our minds) on paper and here in verse! Just think, this time next year – the World Cup will be but a memory (in your mind).Time to get a 2010 wall chart. Bless.
.All “themed” poems will appear here and also (eventually) on the Football Poets MySpace site -which has a comments / messages section at

Great poem Mike Bartram. Eddie was a legend, affectionately known in Liverpool as, “the first hooligan.” Even the hoolies were well dressed in those days. The amazing thing was he was only 26 when that picture was taken. He’d played for Everton youth team and was well known to the players. He never got arrested. They threw him out and he climbed back in, just in time for Derek Temples winner.
I used the picture of him being tackled to the ground on the front cover of my book, “Once Upon a rhyme in Football.” It’s worth looking on youtube and finding the re-enactment of the Wembley scene. Frank Skinner and Baddiel went around to Eddies home in the 1990’s and acted it out on the green outside. It’s hilarious, especially all the effort they put in to get Eddie sober enough to shoot the scene.

Hi Crispin,
I don’t know if you’ve see the picture in social media today…
a picture of a teenage Lionel Messi cradling a baby in Africa as part of a photoshoot…. the family had won a lottery to have their baby pictured with him….
the photographer has just revealed that the baby is actually in fact Lamine Yamal!!!!

Hi Denys…
Re Man City:
OK it was 20 years ago but Criag Wilson did write this and a few others on them back in 04/05.
BTW I’m more Forest Green Rover since 2014 (and Chelsea) these days . I drum and am a standing season ticket holder .

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Denys
With you all the way on the abolition of FA Cup replays. What are they doing to the game?
