Good to have you back Steve.

If you’re over here in March when Orient play FGR again it would be good to say hello. Hopefully you won’t  need a raincoat.

Tough league L2.   all the best C

May I be the first to roar my approval for this poem, Steve. Well said, and well done.

A great poem from Llew Beaton.

Andrew Watson was back in focus in 2021, see this related article….

Welcome to Football Poets Gally G!

Great verse (and poem).

I’m sure  imagery and memories  and future hopes will trigger so much for those who write here.

More please.

Great words in ‘It Was Beautiful’  Sept 29,  and so true Mike  .

A sentiment shared by so  many who write here.

This poem now also takes pride of place appearing under ‘Your Nostalgia Poems’ in Crispin’s Cormer on the home page.

Re ‘Sir Roger’ by Mike Bartram :

A lovely moving tribute Mike.
