Beano,Beezer,Dandy or Eagle...the Hotspur and Wizard were my kings regal.To

Ohhh-De To Be a Gooner
Well done Arsenal, we DID secure fourth place
In Europe's elite we've saved some face
Though we sold our rivals the title race
With that sweet spot on van pursy's lace

We left it late, but what a run
As tottenham's hotspur was coolly out gunned
Those sad fans looked duly...

Every Wednesday on the dot,
 off to the newsagent like a shot.
A solitary sixpence,all my wealth
picking up the Hotspur comic from the shelf.
To read of my hero W W Wilson,the wonder man,

Soccer &cricket were a piece of cake,

George, would you like to start?
Last night, I was reading the book Business for Forward Thinkers. Applause.

Filled with a Club-World-Cup trophy 

And lots of other prestigious trophies.
But Spurs...
