I always loved your epistle to the Sub Rooms
of long lost Stroud and Gloucester 60s teenage days
with the teddy boys watching the Beatles..back in the day

you were one of the first Stroud Football Poets
I first heard in some pub long ago
and your ‘Battle of 47’ ode***
when you recalled a long gone winter day
when Eastingon took on rivals Frampton
for ‘Stroud’s premier league and crown’..
and when you spoke
in that oh so special way
I could almost smell the linament and dubbin!

saw you – performed with you
with Stuart, Danny, Katie, Peter W, Jeff and Rosemary
at the Festival Hall for Euro 96 …
before this site began..and down the years at slams
and then again at poetry gigs . this summer

you couldn’t stay away could you
your wonderful epistle
to lost youth on golden days
knocked me out in the first round
at the Big Love Slam in Ciren..

as I drove out from the Town Hall
I passed you
walking along in the Cheltenham night
and shouted out “young man!”…
and that’s how I will always think of you
immaculately turned out …
a naughty wink and glint in your eye
