Bjørge Lillelien - Unwitting Psychic (Norway 2 -1 England, Oslo 1981)

Birthplace of giants
Now shrunken and for sale
Believed a loss inconceivable.
The chevroned predator
Pouncing on McDermott
Poked without fanfare nor whimper.
For England played not as sportsmen
But countrymen
Fighting for a slow burning husk.
Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me?
Your boys took a hell of a beating
Your boys took a hell of a beating
Of course she did not listen.
