There Once Was A ........

Enjoy or Ignore - just me having a bit of fun with some instantly recognisable City characters, past and present

There once was a keeper from Oz
No Wizard, I´m afraid, that´s because,
When the ball went right
Left went his flight
That fumbling keeper from Oz

There was a small person from Wales
Who rejoiced with a ´head over tails´,
Whenever he scored
We never got bored
Of watching that person from Wales

There once was a young man, so tall
He sometimes lost sight of the ball,
When there at his feet
They´d cry out, " Hey Pete!
Just how did you end up so tall?"

There was a quick winger from Notts
Who caused quite a few to see spots,
As he passed them by
He´d often say, " Hi! "
That fleet-footed winger from Notts

There once was a good man from Eire
Whose manager just dealt in lire,
But he knew his worth
Which filled him with mirth
That forgotten, but good man from Eire

There was a hotshot up from Cumberland
Not content just to snooze there in slumberland,
He left with the hoards
And fetched up on the Broads
That very hot, hotshot, from Cumberland

There was a young lad near Toronto
Whose talent was spotted real pronto,
" You´d better be off "
Said his Dad with a cough
As he waved to the lad from Toronto

There once was a Welshman from Bangor
Who hardly ever resorted to anger,
And despite the scowl
From his toothless jowl
You´ll find no-one kinder, from Bangor.

 

Nice one RBF
Heroes past and present, even the first one, after all he helped kick off a revolution (unintentionally!).
Let's hope Hoolahoop gets the recognition he deserves.

 

i feel bad rbf that i don't know who all these are supposed to be!

 

Micheal Theocouldntcatchacold
Earnshaw
Crouch
Hucks
????
Holt
Jackson
Iwan.

 

There was once a copper from Clapham Junction
Who found that his balls wouldn't function
His wife, he couldn't leave her,
so he tried to deceive her
with snot on the end of his truncheon.

Sorry.....

 

Kenny, Hoolahan's your missing man. Eire/Republic of Ireland, lire being about Irelands Italian manager Giovanni Trapattoni.

 

aah, thanks kenny. as it happens they were all blindingly obvious

 

aah, hoolahan. Why the hell did I not get that???

Doh!!

There once was a vampire called mable
Her periods were very unstable
so by the light of the moon
with the aid of a spoon
she drank herself under the table.

I'll get my coat...

 

Foggo - wherever do you dig ´em up ? although even the missus had a chuckle
