Not so Gorgeous, Georgi?

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Georgi Hristov
Got quite pistov
With the Barnsley girls
Who were ugly and had habits
That would make your toenails curl.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Georgi Hristov
Soon got mistov
Teamsheets, three or more;
Seems whatever Georgi did
Georgi failed to score.

Notes

1997 – Barnsley’s record signing Macedonian international Georgi Hristov said Barnsley girls were unattractive.

One of them set out to prove him wrong and sold the story of his under-par performance to the tabloid press.

Unaccountably, this was follwed by a dramaitc loss of form and he eventually left the club.

Congratulations to Steve – this poem
was heavily featured in an article about Georgi Hristov’s
signing for Dunfermline,
