This Really is Football - Part 4

Today, the 4th of November, 2012, Steven Gerrard will play his 600th game for Liverpool Football Club, leading the side against Newcastle.  In his honour, Shay's Picks features this poem written by a great Scouse and friend, John Lemmon. John passionately supports Liverpool FC and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign. Most days you can find John at Hillsborough Inquests The Cover-Up.

Stevie G...

600 not out
our captain hard
our mister mom

our christmas card
our tallyman
our man full of zest
our hero in 2005
our captain
just the best...

600 not out
our Stevie G
he 's not scared of man utd
not even cashed up citeh
he can do what he wants
he can take control of the ball
he can terrorise other teams
he just has it all...

our Steven Gerrard
600 games today
haway the lads to visit just take it away
with carra and suarez
to egg him along
the kop will keep singing
his favourite song....

so today is the day you so richly deserve
we honour you Stevie, you so proudly serve
you've taken us from the highs and the lows
from defeat at home to swansea
to the joy of Istanbul...
and wobbly-legs JERZY
we thank you our Stevie
from the bottom of our heart
now just get out there today
and rip the geordies apart......

YNWA...
