Alex Ferguson
They provided kitchen door frame
Pencil marks to wonder at,
Those kids;
Won the league as I schooled my A-levels.
Now they are beginning to retire,
And the first stress fractures are
Cracking across my face.
I shlepped from the cannabis
Fug of three months of Krackawheat
To the Fine Line, Northcote Road.
Manchester United – 4
Real Madrid – 3
A heroic failure.
Just eleven months later,
I had a permanent job.
