A Strikers Lament

[Whispering Bob]

Oh for the services of a Billy Best
With someone like him we’d survive this test
When we had Stan
He carried the can
Or a natural like Freddy
With goals at the ready
I doubt we’d be so far off the pace
If the line was led by Stuart Brace
We simply need another Cadette
Someone who knows how to find the net
Because my friends, with no David Crown
The writing’s on the wall…..we are down.

 

[Mick]

...we just have lamentable strikers !

Someone who knows how to find the net
Because my friends, with no David Crown
The writing’s on the wall…..we are down.

Without fighters like McDonough this club's a goner....

 

[HUMBLEPIE]

Without fighters like McDonough this club's a goner....

It would be a filip to have a Steve Philips instead with got a Goodship and we are all at sea.

 

[BlueBore]

Neville Roach could be their coach

...I'll get my coat

Just one torn netto
Give it to me
A rare event from
SUFC!

Fans wouldn’t be as incensed
If we had Derek Spence,
Or quite so disdainful
for a modern Brett Angell
But we’re left with young Acquah*
Who we can’t sell for 10 Drachma
So a question of mine is who’s Phil’s No.9?
Mayhap it’s Badship he’ll like, & tell Halford “On yer bike”
Or Simeon A, but take no penalties eh?
Let us hope for the best as we head off down west
Come On You Blues, lets send down the Ewes
? ? ? ???

It would have been more appropriate if this had been fired off in blank verse.

When I say Southend,
You say Safe.

We would win easily
If we had Mike Beesley.

Our goal difference would be handsome
If we had Paul Sansome.

We would beat all the others
If we had Martin Carruthers.

Up the table we would power
If we had Mark Gower.

We would be guaranteed to score
If we had Stan Collymore.

And we would pass any test
If we had Billy Best.

All of that is probably
Without Gordon Connelly
