An Ode To The King

So farewell then Ledley Breton King

You gave us your all …your everything.

A callow youth debuted for us in 1996

Was even then a thoroughbred with wily tricks.

Cut from Captain cloth from head to toe

We prayed that you would never go.

But no one knew what was to be

Blighted by that bloody knee.

Your training regime was quite unique

A dozen laps in Levy’s pool – sometimes twice a week.

But this isn’t goodbye old pal, just au revoir 

We need you as our Ambassad0r.

    I would remove his nasty trail of slime we would then have a dozen people arguing in an empty room.

    Just saw HR interviewed at the golf for BBC 2, he says he hopes to get a post when the Club Chairmen start to panic round about Christmas meanwhile he’s honing his 14 handicap. Didn’t hear Triffic once in the interview.

      Fortunately the bar in the Hilton I’m in has the sound down. Very nearly put me right off my €5.20 Budweiser ice cold.

      Can’t. Got to go out with the dogs in the rain. Then come home and make a tosser of myself by watching QI on i-player.

    just back to ledders for a minute.
    In a footballing world full of ashley coles, john terrys and the like, a true gentleman of the game has just left the pitch.

    my fondest memory:
    telling everyone that would listen that ledders would have terry henry in his pocket for england and watching MY player who plays for MY club being an absolute star on the world stage.

    mr. king – i salute and thank you.

    Now get back on the training pitch and teach dawson to pass the fucking ball.
