1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Local football team?
No chance. The crowds demand Names
To play for their town.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 No chance for locals
To represent their own town
Big money, big voice.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Communication?
Interpreters are needed
To impart tactics

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 What did happen to
The football academies
Trophy investment?

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 It seems a shame that
Local talent is passed by
For short term big names

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 New terrace songs now
Need to be a polyglot
Of football language

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Sad for local lads
Business now, not just a game
Still we go to watch
