Football’s Holy Trinities

P Maguire

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Football loves its trinities
And like the Holy Ghost
Always feels more at home
When the other two are close

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Hansen, Souness and Dalglish
Or the 3 Jocks as they’re known
Jumped right over Hadrian’s Wall
And made Liverpool their home

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Henry, Viera, Pires
Wenger’s football musketeers
Alonso, Nunez, Josemi
Spanish Reds the rest will fear

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Giggsy, Keane and Scholes
The jewels in Fergie’s crown
And now he’s mined some new ones
Ronaldo, Smith and Brown

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Peters, Moore and Hurst
The Hammers favourite course
Whilst Charlton, Best and Law
Shone like diamonds in the North

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Bremner, Clarke and Giles
Don Revie’s crew of steel
Whilst Stein had Lions of emerald gold
In Johnstone, Murdoch and McNeil

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 The white arrows of Real Madrid
Like angels flying free
They had Gento and Di Stefano
And with Kopa that made 3

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Ball, Lee and Summerbee
At Maine Road they were Kings
Whilst Deyna, Gadocha, Lato
Brought defences to their knees

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Smith, Mackay, Norman
The glory boys of Spurs
Cunningham, Regis, Batson
The Baggies favourite words

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Yeats, St John and Cally
In Shankly’s vision they all shared
Pele, Jairzhino, Tostao
The wonders of the world

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard
Dutch masters on the ball
Puskas, Hidegkuti and Czibor
The most magnificent of all.
