The Questions of Sport

Will anyone come up with the answers
To the the toughest questions there are?
Would Man Ciy have won the title
If they hadn't hadnt signed Marsh from QPR?
Would England have won the world cup
If Banks hadn't touched that beer?
If Leeds had kept hold of Cantona
Would they win the title year after year?
Would Gazza be the best player ever
If he weren't such a silly bugger?
And if pigs' bladders weren't round but oval
Would we all now be playing rugger?

(Tim Bradford, 1998)
