My Sunderland years to music

I LOVE FRANK I DO

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for the world cup
And soft summer nights
We watched never ending highlights
Danced on Southwick green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
My team in the a derge
But Stokoe ready to emerge
With the FA cup ready to ne won
And Leeds ready to be out done
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It started with Pop Robson in charge
And by and large things could not be worse
Then we got Len Ashurst
But McMenamy was about to arrive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days are of Short
Im in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
Players from fine old kegs
A team that takes me from the brim to the dregs
At their best they can be so sweet and clear
It was a very good year

 

nice one syd, not sure about dancing on southwick green though...... you'd get your shoes and strides covered in ****e

 

wow syd

your a poet and i think you know it

 

Love it, well done that man and let's raise a glass to nostalgia eh? You can never get past it.

 

In 1973 we won the cup and I had long hair,
It's all been down hill from there!
The end!

Syd was out in OMAN during the eighties, the yanks bombed LIBIA, we had 15000 US marines living in tents on our camp at Thumrait, one night.one of these marines in conversation with a jock civillian called him a poet, the jock was over the moon, comparing himself to Rabbie Burns, until another marine told him ,,,, that p o e t,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, stood for PRICK ON an EGO TRIP............ HE WAS GUTTED, so for you SYD wont call you a poet,,,,,,,,,,WORDSMITH fits the bill better, dont you think?

 

Dont know bill, could well be a bit of a p o e t on my day
