WE HAVE A MIDFIELD GENERAL # 1

We have a midfield General
Who’s really completive and hard
But everyone that we play
Just think he’s a dirty bastard

IN THE PROGRAM THEY SAY

In the program they say
He’s a real seasoned player
But what they really mean
Is he’s past it the poor geezer

BERT TRAUTMANN

Goalkeeper Bert Trautmann
Was from a different age
When top flight players
Were not spoilt and pampered
He didn’t live in a mansion
Or have a selection of sports cars
To get to work on match days
From his home in Stockport
To Maine road in Manchester
He had to catch two buses.

IN THE PROGRAM THEY SAY OF HIM

In the program they say of him
That he is a loyal player to the team
But in truth no other club
Will have him it would seem

VERY ECONOMICAL WITH THE BALL

Very economical with the ball
That is a quality worth merit
Our captain is only economical
As he’s too slow to get near it

THE VICTORIANS

The Victorians
Invented a lot of sports
Or if not invented,
Encouraged their development
As a means of instilling, fair play
Teamwork and discipline
Into the next generation
As way of training the youth
For life in the wider world
I don’t know how
The Victorians would view
The sportsmen and women of today
Not favourably I suspect

WE HAVE A GREAT WELSH INTERNATIONAL

We have a great Welsh international
Known affectionately as Griff
Well when I say he’s Welsh
His parents once went to Cardiff
