Reebok welcomed Athens finest son
Greek colossus Kyrgiakos took the field
Twinned Carra at the heart of the rearguard
Whereas Skrtel the enforcer healed
Came in young Magyar Peter Gulacsi
Troops donned black armbands in honour
On the bench to replace Diego Cavalieri
Who mourned the death of his beloved Father
Pulsating second half saw the Trotters despatched
Not before a mighty jolt from big Kev
Cut thrust move from the rapier Johnson
As the Red machine upped the rev
Wanderers defiant, went ahead again
Courtesy owed to Tam Cohen
No relation of course to England’s George
Aim enough to join Bullseye’s Jim Bowen
Red tide turned when Davis saw crimson
Restart saw the mood turn bullish
Kuyt and the skipper again combining well
Torres levelled with a mighty fine finish
Time ticks and with less than ten on the clock
Came from 12 yards an inescapable volley
Assisted ably by the brilliant Nando
Stevie thumped the clincher past Jussi
