1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 There’s a jewel in the Tottenham High Road
That shines down White Hart Lane
He’s from CSKA via Bayer Leverkusen
And the grapevine says he’s staying

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Will the board cash in and sell him
Like Michael Carrick to Man Yoo?
There’ll be lynching, en masse exodus
By hordes of Spurs fans if they do

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 One season in North London
Has shown that he’s the one
Who could restore the club to glory
Like halcyon days of Bill Nicholson

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Martin Chivers stature
Alan Gilzeans eye for goal
With a hint of Greavsie in the box
You lucky Tony Soprano (Martin Jol)

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 He’s the second Bulgar to put on
The famous black and white
Iordan Letchkov came before him
But this bloke steals the limelight

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Posture like a dancer,
Lithe and fleet of foot
Goals are what he grafts for
Check the record books?

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 The Govan knight thought price too high
At almost eleven mill
Ah well Fergie we all make mistakes
Best get set to raid the till

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Surely the find of the season?
No one knew what to expect
Spurs fans must be highly pleased
How many times he’s found the net

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 In the jungle that’s the penalty area
Where games are won or lost
He scores great goals, he’s from Sofia
He’s…. Dimitar Berbatov

Notes

A lovely bloke I know called John, who just happens to be a Spurs fan (yes I do know some of those) has asked me if I’d write a piece on Dimitar Berbatov, who for me, and him as well, no doubt, has been the find of this season.

Only eleven million, and we paid all that dough for Shevchenko!

I’ve heard that he ( Berbatov) is staying at the Lane, so United, Chelsea and all the others who’ll come calling with cheque books open, can forget it….he’s not sale!

Yeah right, nor was Michael Carrick!

If Spurs chairman Daniel Levy gets offered enough spondooliks, he’ll sell….won’t he? Then the Spurs faithfull will go absolutely mental!
