Football Poets

Hi Crispin,

How are you doing mate? I was just curious to know whether you were watching Countryfile on Sunday evening and that programme devoted to your Forest Green Rovers. Great watch.

Best wishes

Joe

Ha!! Just brilliant! I can hear this being sung. So funny!

I love this verse as I know exactly that feeling of living in a fantasy while kicking the ball as a kid. Makes me wonder what fantasy world professional players live in when they dribble, pass and shoot? Hopefully it’s doesn’t always feel like routine job fired them

Hi Denys. Thanks for your kind words. I could have mentioned Dixie Dean but decided not to.

Best wishes, mate

Great knowledge of Everton history, Joe.

Hi Jason,

Sorry I forgot to congratulate you on your excellent poem as well.

Keep well

Joe

I think this is best thing I have read so far about the legend. Thanks
