What did the seventies mean football wise
Football fans prayers answered from the skies
The United days at last were finally over
Scouses could begin to follow their team in clover
A certain Forest conquered Europe with gaffer Clough
The man took unfashionable teams right out of the rough
His teams always played the way football should be played
Players with talent and flair but hardmen too if the ball got mislaid
Cloughies only mistake? was in paying a million for T. Francis
Nice player but a million someone wake me up with a kiss
It brought the onset of transfer fees not knowing were to stop
But the best teams would pay them just to stay at the top
Their is a lot more I could put down about that decade
But I wouldn’t know where to stop I’m afraid
So for now that will have to suffice
But a later edition if you are really nice…………
