Ledley’s Kings knee – and the jerk reaction

He’s served the Spurs with gusto
Just another Senrab production
Served the flag home and abroad
With commendable distinction

Now we pressure him to retire
To the last chance saloon bar
“He can’t train,” they sneer
Remember a certain McGrath?

So he won’t feature in every match
Yet a very able squad deputy
Slot in for an absent lynchpin
Step in for Rio or Terry

With knackered knees on reserve
And accused of living a con
Battered white, red and blue
Still the old warhorse trudges on

Number 7
