Tommy Smith

“The Anfield Iron”
Rising up like a Scouse salmon
To claim the crown in Rome
30, 000 Kopites shook their heads
With disbelief and then took off
For the moon
But me and me Dad we got there first
Singin’ your name like a hymn
There you were
As the eerie faraway commentary
Spoke with tones of surprise
“And it’s Tommy Smith!”
Oh what history beneath
Exotic Roman floodlights
And the spirit never more beautiful
And the heart never more at home
Whilst the Liver Birds copied
Your header using the moon as a ball.
