BEEN THERE, DONE THAT

(Tom Allenby’s poem)

There’s nothing really new

I’ve seen it all before

Matches, players, managers

You bet I know the score

There’s nothing you can tell me – I know where it’s at

Got the T-shirt, mate – been there, done that

Windy Wednesday nights away

Winters wild and wet

The crowd – one man and his dog

The best you’re going to get

Changing rooms like caravans – no room to swing a cat

Got the T-shirt, pal – been there, done that

I’ve had it tough and had it rough

You don’t hear me complaining

The football school of hard knocks

Is where I’ve done my training

Experience? It’s all up here – don’t need to see no stats

Got the T-shirt, buddy – been there, done that

Football isn’t rocket science

Just plain old common sense

Keep the ball, score a goal

Solid in defence

Do your job, safety first – and don’t give me no chat

Got the T-shirt, son – been there, done that
