Poetry In Motion Contest Football

Cup-winner Stan
Still playing on at thirty-eight,
Inch perfect crosses on a plate;
With shimmy,side-step and dazzle
He left the full back in a frazzle;
An aging hero with twinkling skills,
A pro sans modern day frills.

Stan = Stan Mathews of Forties football(soccer) fame

A lovely tribute Brian to a player that brought you great pleasure as you appreciated his play - a hero in the mold of modesty! Thanks for sharing this poem. Merry Christmas. Sending you blessings of joy!
