Rachel (see bloglinks) pens a football poem which reminds me that I have a small stock of footy poems and when I look for them it turns out to be 11 poems plus one haiku, and they are stored at http://www.footballpoets.org/ filed under the name 'Gwil Williams' (sic).
I picked Dreaming of GB United for today's post simply because it's at the top of the list; so it must be a goal-keeper.
Best swerves, passes it
to Gascoigne who
pushes it out to Giggs.
The Welshman sprints
cuts inside 3 defenders
slots it to Best
who cleverly backheels it
to Dalglish
who taps it sideways to
the man running in . . .
it's Shearer
who sends it like a rocket
into the top corner.
Ten-nil
to GB United.
Another Jules Rimet Trophy
for the cleaning lady
in the National Stadium
in Wales.
Manager Clough leaps for joy. Orders two pies with his fingers!

I always wished that Giggs had chosen to play for England, he could have done. I cant wait to read your football poems. I will look later. I have a few more myself and will look them up.
ReplyDeleteI like your poem titles. I cant wait to see Five Minutes in Venice.
Love the poem Gwil - I must say they don't make 'em like that any more.
