About Me
Poor Scouser Tommy is a blog born of frustration – I’m full of opinions about LFC and need to vent them on a more regular basis. The title of the blog is taken from one of my favourite Liverpool songs. I’m specifically a lifelong Liverpool fan and a lover of football generally. I live and work in Liverpool. My other hobbies are photography and drinking which hopefully will dovetail with this blog nicely…:)
The title of the blog is taken from one of my favourite Liverpool songs, Poor Scouser Tommy:
Let me tell you the story of a poor boy
Who was sent far away from his home
To fight for his king and his country
And also the old folks back home
So they put him in a Highland division
Sent him off to a far foreign land
Where the flies swarm around in their thousands
And there’s nothing to see but the sands
In a battle that started next morning
Under an Arabian sun
I remember that poor Scouser Tommy
Who was shot by an old Nazi gun
As he lay on the battle field dying (dying dying)
With the blood gushing out of his head (of his head)
As he lay on the battle field dying (dying dying)
These were the last words he said…
Oh…I am a Liverpudlian
I come from the Spion Kop
I like to sing, I like to shout
I go there quite a lot (every week!)
We support the team that’s dressed in red
A team that we all know
A team that we call Liverpool
And to glory we will go
We’ve won the League, we’ve won the Cup
We’ve been to Europe too
We played the Toffees for a laugh
And we left them feeling blue – Five Nil !
One two
One two three
One two three four
Five nil !
Rush scored one
Rush scored two
Rush scored three
And Rush scored four!
All you need is Rush
All you need is Rush
All you need is Rush, Rush
Rush is all you need
