The Tao of Olly Mourinho Proclaiming verbal gems with a cough
"Ball travelled at four hundred,”
“Burned the keeper's eyebrows off"
Olly told the team to harness
The spirit of Blackpool’s all-time greats
Matthews, Mortensen, Armfield , Ball
They with the grand football traits
Towering triumph at Blackpool
Far flung from the Foxes drop
Victor in the Ninety million game
Earning the right to play the Kop
Cadbury Heath, Loftus Road to Seasiders
Twerton park and pigeon fancier Francis
Baldie Bristolian at Bloomfield Road
Sealing promotion with a kiss
Five hundred Grand on Charlie
Orange troupe with a paltry wage bill
Less than John Terry’s annual pay
Squad income under five mil
Decades to unite the Tangerines
For those who care to reminisce
Olly joins Mr Armfield
The magic of the sign linguist
Pleasure beach gates await the rest
Blackpool are in the promised resort
Fat lady with the mic hasn’t sung yet
But Beware when Olly holds court
Number 7
