Nigel Pearson

Nigel Pearson

The year was nineteen sixty three
Nottingham a new enlistee.
Nigel first opened his eyes
under Robin Hoods august skies.

Heanor Town his amateur start
defender his elected part.
Shrewsbury town his pro start
six years, then depart.

Sheffield Wednesday his next stop
as captain he was no flop.
On his watch the league cup
then promotion, a big move up.

Middlesbrough next and captain again
Robson recognised his football brain.
Two promotions he inspired them too
then Pearson bids playing adieu.

Commencing his management career
a rough ride before moving into gear.
He takes Leicester into league one
amazingly, it was his swan song.

Leaving Leicester was a shock
his management as solid as rock.
Eventually they got him back
he made drastic changes front and back.

Getting Leicester in the Premier League
and showing no battle fatigue.
Up front by a mile
they sure did it in style.

Brendon Rodgers

Nineteen seventy three it began
Carnclough, Co. Antrim this famous man
was born into village life
relatively free of trouble and strife.
Represents Northern Island at schoolboy level
playing Brazil gained a teenage medal
then a defender at Ballymena United
an offer from Reading was accepted.
At twenty professional football ended
a genetic knee injury offended
staying at Reading as a coach
several years without reproach.
Trips to Spain studying coaching methods
educational constructive periods.
Jose Mourinho invites him to Chelsea
youth manager the vacancy.
Then Watford offers him a job
Reading starting talking shop
six months at Reading without success
an offer from Swansea he did address.
He took Swansea into the Premier League
other clubs he began to intrigue
Liverpool made an offer and got
this gifted manager who had the lot.
Now Liverpool are riding high
other clubs they could deny
the championship, a crock of gold
Rogers cool, calm, controlled.

Pie in the sky

Pie in the sky.

This religious Arab crap

the two pronged attack.

First organised RC law

then Islam kicks our door.

The take over bid still ensues

both putting down Jews.

What a divisive mess

dressed to kill laziness.

Tall hats and silly frocks

looking down on psychotic flocks.

Mesmerised by Arab mysticism

some resort to murderous recidivism.

Pentecostalism doing quite well

ten percent of income to stay out of hell.

A good old sing song, a bite to eat

the indolent tax man avoids the balance sheet.

What was wrong, with just just being good

all this praying I never understood.

Pretending you hear from him on high

is just wishful thinking, pie in the sky.
