An ode to Bosko

Dec 5 2003

 

Tom Grumble

Grumblers: It's a sad day for me, and for you, and for everyone.

Bosko has been released by Villa.

The man with gold in his boots, and a smile to melt a million hearts, is departing the fold.

And I am distraught, this boy was the new Greavsie! And so, after a pint of Baileys, I penned the following song, which I will now, attempt to sing for you.

It follows the tune of My Way and will be in the shops for X-mas. Light a candle, get the kids around the fire...and shed a tear for Bosko.Take it away!

Bosko Balaban

"And now the end is near, so Bosko faces...his final plane flight.

He's had a real nightmare...not played a lot...didn't start a bl***y League game.

He cost £8m pounds, hardly got a kick...not one to speak of.

But more, much more than this, Bosko kept...on smiling!!!"




"OK! Well maybe not, but would you, if you'd signed for Villa?

Loved, back at home, scoring goals, a well-known winner.

And then, while in Brum, you get to work, with a bleached blonde beanstalk.

But worse, much worse than this, you're trained by, errm, a turnip"



Might have lost it a spot there Grumblers. But hey! Here comes the next verse...

Who is hiding behind Santa's beard?


"And then O'Leary came. So Bosko faced, a whole new era.

But still, he trained with kids.
His first team start, was nowhere nearer.

He saw Doug, but Doug just said, you cost...shedloads of money.

So...it's all over now, Bosko's on his way."


"It's just not fair, you shower of shi.. (enough Grumble! - ed)
