ANTHONY PETER DUNNE (24 JULY 1941 – 8 JUNE 2020)

 

Dublin born Tony Dunne

Was a long time left back

Who played 414 games

For Manchester United

And 33 times for Ireland

During his 13 years with United

He won two division 1 titles

A European Cup in 1968

And the FA Cup in 1963

NICE ONE HENRY # 2

 

FIFA are on a mission

Disrespect for refs they want to defeat

An admirable ambition indeed

But first they need to stamp out cheats

Its spread from normal quarters

To Thierry Henry who to his ignominy

Handled the ball to keep it in play

An offence done quite deliberately

Which was compounded by his lie,

That it happened accidentally

AN ENGLISHMAN WALKED INTO A PUB

 

An Englishman walked into a pub

But something was definitely up

There were no Irish, Welsh or Scots

Because they were still in the cup

PRIDE IN THE EAST

 

Travelling east to play the game

Not thought to set the world aflame

Making friends while you’re away

Impressing with your football play

Pleasing critics with what they see

Though they call you England B

Well done the noble men in green

With Holland, Dunn and Robbie Keane

You’ve really done your country proud

Let them proudly sing your names aloud
