WE’RE GETTING A NEW STADIUM

 

We’re getting a new stadium

Though it’s not my cup of tea

There is much to discuss

It’s a bit too tent like for me

And I’m not alone and it will

Leave many a fan nonplus

They are turning Old Trafford

From the Theatre of Dreams

To Billy Smarts Circus

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

SHAY BRENNAN’S BITTERSWEET BEGINING

 

Seamus Anthony “Shay” Brennan (6 May 1937 – 9 June 2000)

 

Shay’s first game for the Reds

Was Manchester United's first,

After the Munich air disaster 

It was in an FA Cup match

On the 19th of February 1958

Against Sheffield Wednesday

On an emotionally charged night

Shay Brennan scored two goals

While playing as an outside-left

Which was not his natural position

But in an odds and sods team sheet

Following the death of David Pegg

And Albert Scanlon crash injuries

He abandoned his fullback position

And secured a famous victory

On the most bittersweet night

In Old Trafford’s long history

MANCHESTER UNITED’S UNDERGROUND HEATING

 

Manchester United’s underground

Heating hasn’t been restored

So they’re planning to rename

The stadium Cold Trafford
