Evening All, Anybody remember the above poem? (refyowsed ter quit)It was written by a family friend in his younger days and was published in both The Sentinel & The Daily Express.... His original copy was lost in a house move, and the game on Saturday has rekindled a few lines (he's getting on abit now). Anybody?!?  |

Found it!!!!!!!!
Written by J.A Evans
There are 14 verses....and I am a very slow typer
Here are the first 3 verses....lol
Arl tell thee a teel if thee angst on a bit
Abyte sum blokes as refyowsed ter quit
If thee seyst wot ah meyn, Its Stoke City F Sey
That's th' subject o' t' tee tarm gooing tell they
It ow started ite last eighth o' September
Wen wey went ter Sythpowt if thee cost remember
Wey beyt them little 'uns withite much fuss
And ow got jugged cumin back on t' buzz
Next it wer Oxford, an wey drow dyne theer
But wey beyt 'em up 'ere bee a cupple, dust 'ere
Then ite cumm't droower fer next rynde
T'wer Unarted awee, Owwer feevreete grynde
11 more verses to come....but you get the drift.....I hope!!!!!

THEY REFYOWSED TER QUIT - BY J.A.EVANS
Arl tell thee a teel if thee angst on a bit
Abyte sum blokes as refyowsed ter quit
If thee seyst what ah meyn, Its Stoke City F Sey
That's th' subject o' t' tee tarm gooing tell they
It ow started ite last eighth o' September
Wen wey went ter Sythpowt if thee cost remember
Wey beyt them little 'uns withite much fuss
And ow got jugged cumin back on t' buzz
Next it wer Oxford, an wey drow dyne theer
But wey beyt 'em up 'ere bee a cupple, dust 'ere
Then ite cumm't droower fer next rynde
T'wer Unarted awee, Owwer feevreete grynde0
Wey drow theer thet neyt, but weyn pleed well
Wen they cumst dyne ‘ere wey’ll givum ‘ell
Buy wey drow dyne Stoke, an’ Big John wer sick
Tow dissallyde gools in less than a wick
But Big John thee knowst, ‘ey nyow wey’d get throw
Ey scowed t’winner, an wey wun one-tow
Th’ cryd went nuts wen ‘ey nodded eet in
Thee cudsta bost thee eardrums in ow the din
Fert Kwayter Farnals wey wus awee
An’ pleed dyne at Bristol wun windee dee
Wet thrashed ‘em wi’ foor,but they got tow
Still, it didna mayter, since wey wus throw
Wey’d dun it agen- t’ Semi- Farnals wer ‘ere
Fert second tarm insard a yeer
West Ham at wom in ‘t fost leg it wer
They beyt us tow wun, but in wonna fer
So it wer dyne ter Lundun in t’ followin wick
Weer Big John’s gool did th’ farnal trick
A greet perfowmance ‘ad seyn us pull bock
On’t geets ‘er Wembly wey cud still knock
But..it wonna ow oover just yit, oower Kid
Cus they ‘ad a penalty, thats wot thee did
T’wer Hurst agin Bonks, an wey wus sick
That so neyer th’end theed got this kick
Wey thowt it wer Sheffeyld ow oover agin
But Bonks SEEVED t’shot ‘mungst a greet din
Wey cheyrd until ower throwts wer soor
Wey adna seyn such a seev afoor
In t’ reyplee at ‘Illsbro ah cudna tell thee
Wot teym wer goowin ter win that dee
It wer cloose, ah wer scratin me yed
An bartin me neels sif ah adna bin fed
Wey drow noo gools up theer that neyt
Ah cudna tell owd win itereyt
But a sneykin feylin towd mey wey wud
Cus up at Owd Trafford wey’d beyt em fer gud
Ah wonna wrung, cus wey wun threy--tow
An thysands an ‘ thysands sung th’ geem throw
It wer Wembly at last wen t’wistle went
An th’cryde went berserks dyne ter Stook on Trent
Soo its Chelsea nar, an’ dunna they fret
Cus they dunna noo wot theer in fer yet
Theer in fer a freyt - an’ moor than a bit
Wen they meyt th’ blokes as refyowsed ter quit
