He sits there in the public announcement box,
with fruit and Jammy Dodgers.
Studying the team sheet, the raffle tickets.
There’s only one Matty Rogers.
He plays for the U13’s,
and is handy with his head.
His shirt is the iconic number 7,
sometimes he wears it to bed.
He fave player is Thierry Henry,
even though he’s a bit naff at French.
But Matty always gets the names right.
just after they’ve left the bench.
So come on Ingfield, sing loud and proud.
Lads and lasses, and you old codgers.
Let’s chant for Town’s new super hero.
‘There’s only one Matty Rogers’.
