Poem



Nuggety nudger & nurdler 

Thorpey did embody

Epitomise, personify Test Cricket 

Someone small standing tall  


Reliant defiant giant but 

Fragile and flawed

Did he know he was adored?


Cricket was his safe place 

In the 90's nadir 

Thorpey gave us solace

Succour..grace & cheer


Resilience & Brilliance 

Beacon of light

Shining bright hark back 

Dancing in the dark 

Having a lark on 

That Karachi night


Thorpey had the class

To topple Murali & Vaas

Wasim..king of swing & seam

Said he was best 

Test southpaw he ever saw


Thorpey was really that good

Do you think he understood? 

With the wood..own

Homegrown Robin Hood

Heroic & stoic raid

Stellar superstars slayed 

Who plied their trade 

During a golden generation. 


Thorpey inspired and fired 

Our salvation, resurrection 

Regeneration as a cricketing nation 

It doesn't get much bloody better than that!


Remember it was still ours! 

No chagrin at the paywall 

Mandarin sins appall

No red ball for us all.


Surrey & Lions Test legend

Rasping Demons descend

Grasping at the end

Gasping..quite simply

We lost a friend!


Not a toff from 

The rank & file

Working class pass

No faff or fuss

Like us, one of us, the best of us


Style to beguile

Hats do doff...a true great

Touched, tickled & tinged by genius 


Thorpey..rest in power mate
