A reminiscence
Watching my first football game
Enchantment on Boxing Day
Seeing young charges, trying to
Outdo the achievements of players and Heroes past
Moving towards the opposition net and
Enjoying the home team score a goal
Tag: goal

The home crowd didn’t expect this
Their team in the bargain basement of soccer
Right on the bottom shelf
But still they cheered them on
Even after the scoreboard rang 3-0
Towards the stroke of half time
Was it the magic touch of the physio
Or those half time oranges thrown in the mix ?
Or perhaps in the change in coach’s speech
That the players ears would finally reach
Zipping round the pitch, playing like a dream
Nobody expected this…it seemed
At referees whistle … all was fixed
Away team 3 , home team 6
