An Ode To Gary Megson

Yes.

 

We never would have went on that run if we stuck with him.

 

Look at our recent form before he left

 

We got a new manager, played actual football and went up.

 

 

 

We all remember the 5-1 humiliation away at Stevenage . 

[Bing Cosby]

Stevenage! Exeter! They all like to cry,
As if on this evidence, his reign came to die,
In truth it was down to giving Milan what for,
For asserting his authority, he was shown the door,
But that passion, that energy, that ginger fight,
Had given us renewed vigor having been left in the sh*te,
By Irvine and a setup in a perpetual plummet,
Megson had started the crawl back to the summit,
Of the Kop, of the league, of our potential,
"Dave Jones'" promotion was not co incidental,
It was Gary's team which was promoted that May,
How much was down to the Scouse misery it's difficult to say,
But one thing's for sure, Meggo turned us around,
From a club in a mess to a team to be proud,
It wasn't always pretty, but Gary kept grinning,
For his team realised "it's all about winning",
While some soon forget the good that was done,
For the cult, he'll always be Wednesday's own son,
We'll meet up at Greno and work on our fitness,
Knowing that one day he'll return to finish HIS business.

Quality and truth in equal measure!

There once was a man called Gary...

 

He wasn't very good, his one trick was running around Grenoside wood

He called Milan a cheeky monkey and got the punt

His fans are weird, they're all in their 50s and have a beard

They about his Ginger hair, even though its looking a bit bare

The normal folk live in dread as the boring gits start another thread

They'll cry about him being gone, even though he wasn't good enough for League One

They need to sit down and breathe, bit like Gary did on his gardening leave

I can only read the OP in Pam Ayres voice

 

Not sure if that gives it enough gravitas

I prefer to remember beating the pigs but each to their own.

I choose to remember him chest thumping and flashing our (proper) badge in the blades direction as he beat them and started their slide to promotion failure.

One of my proudest moments as a life long owl.
