1. ABOUT THE FEELING POEMS

I’ve been working a lot lately with schools and in football club Study Support Centre on “feelings”. How easy it is to reveal our emotions on the pitch or in the stands…and yet how difficult we sometimes find it at other times to show our feelings in words, on paper or on-line. .Something we try to do together on football and sport. Whatever..but it’s always ‘expression’..page or stage! Something this site is and always has been about, I’d like to think .Your football poems please – those emotions and feelings on playing – whenever you do or did.Crispin

BOOK NOTES
“A rhythmic feast for football lovers everywhere both young and old. From rattles and rosettes to women’s football and the trenches, fantasy salaries and racism to mobile phones for goalposts. Spanning fifty years of watching and ten years of writing , Inner Goal is an affectionate and perceptive nod to the People’s Game in verse. A long-overdue and illustrated hard-copy paperback debut from football’s maverick performance poet featuring 75 poems, 65 haikus and hand-drawn illustrations from the author.
