Not since world war two had they reached such a heightWith Arry at the helm they’d played football to delight
The South Coast’s finest are the longest reigning ever
Seven years the holders without any actual endeavour
The team of Barlow Anderson, Parker, Dorsett
Battered Major Frank Buckley to cause an upset
Jack Tinn’s men tore the Wolves to a shred
The great Stan Cullis, his reputation was left for dead
As King George presented to the Scot Jimmy Guthrie
A looming World War ensured it was all over by tea
Fast forward and no hurrah for Kop king Fowler
As brave Cardiff and Enkleman served up pretty much a howler
Loovens did provide a worthy magic moment
But the use of his arm just added to the torment
Watched on by Sir Bobby, the grand sage
Sol lifted high on the majestic Wembley stage
As Distin, Krancjar, Kanu, all came of age
Europe gets ready for a Pompey rampage.
