Song: “Spaniel Goalie”
Posted by Dermot Carmody in Audio, Music, Stuff on May 31st, 2011
For those of you who, like me, spent much of their childhood playing football in the rectory garden with a spaniel, this song will, I hope bring back bittersweet memories. It does for me. Not for the spaniel. He’s dead.

Pome For Scholesy

Farewell then, Paul Scholes
You often put with majesty
Your foot right through the ball
To huge effect
(Though sometimes, the contact point was lower)
A Ginger Devil,
You did strut and fret your hour on stage,
Adored from the gods
In the Theatre of Dreams.
“Break a leg, son”,
Fergie would mutter in your ear backstage.
“I’ll do my best, boss”,
You would honestly reply.
