White Shirts, Redbricks and Little Black Books

A collection of football poetry, including Leeds United content.

JOHNNY GILES
Cultured. Confident. Soft-spoken.
Ballstroker. Playmaker. Penaltytaker.
Two fine feet. Shorts ter 'knees.
Quiet as you please. Hardest man on 'team.

BILLY BREMNER
A squat Jock. Brick top.
Legs as white as his kit.

Little feller. Knees like lumps
of Scottish mozzarella.

A Tartan Terror,
a real Yorkshire Terrier.

Socks rolled down,
sleeves rolled up,

sweated blood. Elland Road
muck in his veins.

A small giant. Defiant.
Lived and died for Leeds.

A legend.
A Godsend.
