How big is your mansion, how fast is your car?
Is your girlfriend famous, is she a TV star?
What do you earn, what’s your take home pay?
Does it really matter for what team you play?

They were the questions players recently faced.
From young fans, a similar lifestyle keen to taste.
The stardom, the rewards the riches and fame.
Now matter most to some in the beautiful game.

Could you imagine the old days of Liddell and Dean
If money was the object, the ultimate dream.
In those days to the players you could always relate.
Now they want their kingdom served up on a plate.

Money this and money that, off the fans they feed.
A game awash with money, but still I smell the greed.
I still follow my club, I’ll be a Kopite till the day I die.
But the game is not the same, money the reason why.
What a depressing situation. So far, I’ve avoided exposing my son to the professional game in any shape or form – and now I have the perfect reason for things to stay that way.
