LUFC 1987



Tunnel, ticket, turnstile, throng
Roars, applause and tribal song
Programme, teamsheet, Bremner's note
Steady Terry, sheepskin coat

Former fortress, sad demise
Solitary, strangled cries
Concrete, steel, austere, grim
White with blue and yellow trim

Terrace banter, truths and lies
Sweat and farts and piss and pies
Love and loathing, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds
Tetley's, Cacharel and weed

Cockneys, geordies, mancs despised
Midfield maestro eulogised
Gesticulate and gloat and goad
South stand, West stand, Lowfields Road

Burberry scarves and bloodshot eyes
Craggy, crooked, hard and wise
Service crew and Kippax whites
Horses, helmets, fences, fights

Beeston, brooding, bitter, grey
Chimneys, chippy, Mervyn Day
Scoreless scoreboard, injury-time
Kop-end, bulging net, sublime

Heaving, surging, fall and rise
Floodlit steam in raven skies
Gristle, visceral, victory fought
Windscreen wipers, Sports Report
