Gerrard 3-1 Napoli


Lower centenary on row nineteen
Seat 0215 amongst Anfield’s crowd
Making my Reds euro debut
I sat upright and so very proud

Joyous chorus of the Kop cut short
By Lavezzi “the chubby one”
Screaming Ultras down the Anfield Road end
S.S.C Napoli were having all the fun

Sky blue bragging rights erupted
Not quite Woy’s original match plan
Still a little bit of fan handbags
“All stay close,” yelled to me Bootle Jan

“Attack, attack, attack,” roared the Kop
Stevie's warm up triggered an earthquake
Then beat De Sanctis in a 50-50
Anfield called for the impending jailbreak

Ex Red Dossena blasted
“Get up ya quilt,” screamed the chap next to me
Poulsen and Milan were sturdy
Thrust from Meireles and Jonjo Shelvey

Upended Johnson’s dazzle thwarted
Aronica with the smoking gun
Gerrard with a meticulous spot kick
Reds go ahead two to one

Lucas the playmaker supreme
After Ngog agog with that miss
Gerrard rubber stamps the hat trick
Dinked sublimely over De Sanctis

If there ever was a one man team
It’s the head boy of the Kop yard
The best ever seen at Anfield
Salute the marauding Steven Gerrard
