RIP Michael Foot

[davek]

BBC News - Former Labour leader Michael Foot has died

A good man.

Whatsmore, a man who appreciated Everton FC in his day:


Michael Foot, Liverpool Daily Post, 8 March 1935

When at Thy call my weary feet I turn
The gates of paradise are opened wide
At Goodison I know a man can learn
Rapture more rich than Anfield can provide. In Coulter's skill and Geldard's subtle speed
I see displayed in all its matchless bounty
The power of which the heavens decreed
The fall of Sunderland and Derby County.
The hands of Sagar, Dixie's priceless head
Made smooth the path to Wembley till that day
When Bolton came. Now hopes are fled
And all is sunk in bottomless dismay.
And so I watch with heart and temper cool
God's lesser breed of men at Liverpool.

Not a good week regarding celebrity deaths.
Sleep well, and embrace the great Everton supporters club in the sky, for their head honcho is truly a blue.
RIP.
