"GLORY, GLORY, HAIL TO MOURA"
(If you don't know what this is about it is safe to say you lead an impoverished life)
Mine eyes have seen the golden goals of Greavsie and of Smith
The silky skills of Hoddle, Gazza and those they played with
But now we add another to the pantheon of myth
As the Spurs go marching on.
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
Glory, Glory Hail to Moura
He was Tottenham’s hat-trick scorer
As the Spurs go marching on.
It’s over 50 years ago in 1962
We played against Benfica in a semi-final too
We lost on that occasion but this time we thundered through
As the Spurs go marching on.
Glory, Glory Hallelujah….
At half-time all the rest of you could never yet conceive
That turning round a three goal deficit we might achieve
But Pochettino told the boys to “Play and just believe”
As the Spurs go marching on.
Glory, Glory Hallelujah….
He’d substitute Wanyama so that as a consequence
He put Lorente up the front to hassle their defence
And when we got two goals back you could see all Holland tense
As the Spurs go marching on.
Glory, Glory Hallelujah….
The match was slipping from us as we entered extra time
But this is not the Spurs that give in nor is lacking spine
So when Lucas picked up Delle’s ball he breached the Ajax Line
As the Spurs go marching on.
Glory, Glory Hallelujah….

Thanks MC. But what could possibly improve on the line
“He’s a-trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored”? Magnificent.
