Missing Mick Written by SpiritOfJohn on Saturday, 21st Apr 2018 08:37
Just like Jonas Knudsen I find myself pining for the good old days of the Mick McCarthy era. This current wave of optimism sweeping over the club must surely end soon and come crashing down around us. One day, maybe sooner maybe later, you will also feel some nostalgia for those halcyon days under McCarthy. With these thoughts in mind, here is a tribute to the great man and his legacy:
Those were the days of Super Mick We had a proper team then A hundred players came in the door I think I can name you ten. We played a style of football You just don't see any more We stifled the opposition The ball was not on the floor. We copied our rival's formation We matched them man for man We tried to stop them playing That was our master plan. Before and after every game We were told our chance was slim The other team were better Mick thought the fans were dim. Portman Road was feeling empty The grass was looking bare The goals were drying up Entertainment was not there. Mick was a canny manager He had no money to spend Signing loans and freebies Shy Marcus was his friend. He saved us from the drop And reminded us every day Humble he was not It was his Yorkshire way. He sorted out the mess Left by Jewell and Keane He might have stayed on longer If his words were not obscene. The players loved him dearly At least the ones he rated His loyalty to some blokes Cannot be overstated. We will miss you Super Mick Of that you can be sure But in many other ways We'll enjoy what we wished for.
