Leaving Upton Park

Sometimes we’d win and we’d all go berserk.
But the bubbles have burst since we left Upton Park.
Hurst, Peters and Moore, an honest days work.
Sometimes we’d win and we’d all go berserk.
Sometimes we’d lose and we’d all rant and rave.
A tear up on the terraces, give the enemy a shave.
“West Ham until I die, until I’m in the grave.”
Sometimes we’d lose and we’d all rant and rave.
“But we’ll always have the moments”, said the Father to the son.
“Because this is where love was found, where the deal was done.”
“What, beaten claret and blue Dad, where the floodlights never shone?”
“But we’ll always have the moments”, said the Father to the son.

Football I remember those
Football I remember those heady times, and the gloom when it all went wrong, these days football seems to have lost the magic I cannot even remember who plays for who anymore, once I knew the names off by heart.
Remember those rattles:)
Enjoyed

Good poem, ralph. The soul
Good poem, ralph. The soul seems to have gone out of it. Must be one of the saddest sights seeing an old ground demolished. Like watching a theatre or cinema come down.
