Bryan Robson, a legend,
Football’s August gentleman
Born in Chester-Le-Street,
Raised many an aficionado to height,
At Stretford end’s immortal plight.

Ron Atkinson, ‘Big Ron’ spotted his genius,
Robbo, Manchester United’s precocious,
A sorcerer with Football boots,
A joie de vivre under Old Trafford’s roofs,
Adhering to the canons of humanity,
Heralding to a camaraderie beyond time’s affinity.

Captain Marvel beyond words,
Artist of many unknown verbs,
Commando of indefatigable spirits,
A warrior, a soldier in United’s plays.

“Captain Marvel’s the golden dawn of many an uprising,
The immortal dusks of a wealthy gathering.”
Am, in short, an eupsychic,
For Robbo is our filiopietistic.

I’m a literature fanatic and a Manchester United addict who, at any hour, would boastfully eulogize about swimming to unquenchable thirsts of the sore-throated common man’s palate.
