1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Where are you 20 goal per season Striker?
Who no-one else is chasing
Who doesn’t care about low wages
Who just loves to play and score goals.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Where are you midfield general?
Old enough to bring experience
Young enough to bring pace and enthusiasm
Who’ll come to us because we are a “Big Club.”

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Where are you accomplished shot-stopper?
Who can command a goal area
But will sit on the bench game after game
Whilst the man wearing No 1 takes all the glory.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Where are you towering Centre Back?
Who’s tackles are solid and well timed
Who loves to score from corners
Rising above everyone to head it home.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Come in lads, take a pew,
And I’ll tell you of this club’s glorious past,
I’ll sell you a dream of Premiership success,
I’ll convince you that money isn’t everything,
That passion is what it’s all about,
That this club is a family, all pulling together,
That this team is a winner but you will make it better,
That this is a team that can’t fail – invincible!

Notes

Dedicated to Jez Moxey who, when the scouts have done their job, has to somehow convince a player that Molineux is where his future lies even though we pay some of the lowest wages in the league. An impossible task but one that Jez seems able to accomplish from time to time.
