Match Report
Once you reach a certain age, being asked to write this sort of match report is a bit like being asked to recall all your ex-girlfriends… of course you remember all those beautiful faces and the expressions of ecstasy every time they scored but I’ll be damned if I can remember anyone’s name. So, instead, this match report is dedicated to all the goals I’ve loved before:
To all the goals I’ve loved before
For whom I traveled far and wide to score
I’m glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the goals I’ve loved before
To all the goals I once caressed
And may I say, I’ve scored the best
For helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know
To all the goals I’ve loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I tried to play
The winds of change continued blowing
And they just carried my ball away
To all the goals who shared my life
Who now are someone else’s wife
I’m glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the goals I’ve loved before
To all the goals who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I’ll always be a part
Of all the goals I’ve loved before
To Ant who scored three goals,
And Jamie who scored two more,
And Luke and Ieuan and Ben,
Especially after Luke gave away a pen,
and then went and scored again,
I’m glad you came along
I dedicate this song
To all the goals you’ve scored before
