Crouch Scores!

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 In off the keeper. Ah, I forgot that one, but it still counts,
and puts the ‘Pool on the road to third in the Premiership:

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Crouch shoots and the ball rebounds off Leighton Baines
in a sickening arc toward goal, and, dropping under bar,

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 goalie Pollitt fumbles, helps it into his own net– Still, harsh
to label Crouch’s strike an own goal! In the fans’ memory,

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 it will count as Peter’s first — first of many, we hope. Then,
just before the half, Peter shoots again, ball perfectly flighted

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 over Pollitt’s despairing fingers. No mistake: GOAL!

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Christopher T. George
