Another great article on Nick from the Mail today. Can't think of many other England internationals with a former career as a milkman.

Nick Pope was a milkman,
He wore a milkman's thong,
Now he plays for Burnley,
and he's England's number one.

Didn’t Brian O’Neil become a milkman in Southampton some time after hanging up his boots?

I won't comment on the fact that you used 'thong', just that you rhymed it with 'one'.

Nick Pope was a milkman,
But now those days have gone
'Cos he plays for Burnley,
and he's England's number one.
A slightly better rhyme I think

And he's Englands number one.

Nick Pope was a milkman
Delivered to your door
Now he is a Claret
And no f@cker can score.

Yeah, you're right. How about this?
Nick Pope was a milkman,
He wore a milkman's thong,
And now he plays for England,
We're singing him this song.

His thong's made of silk.

Nick Pope was a milkman,
Up at 4 O'clock
When not capped by England
We called Southgate a cock

No milk today
Nick Pope has gone away
To Russia he has flown
As England's number one

Nick Pope is a milkman
He doesn’t wear a hat
He’s got enormous goalie gloves
And he drinks his milk full fat.
He used to be a substitute
Now first name on the sheet
He even plays for England
But he can't kick with his feet

Nick Pope was a milkman
He didn't like it much
So now he plays for Burnley
and kicks it into touch

There once was a milkman named Nick
Whose mate's shoulder became very sick
He caught all the crosses
From opposition tossers
I just wish someone would teach him to kick

Herman's Hermits:
No milk today
Nick Pope has gone away
To keep for Eng-er-land
I can't finish it but one of you wordsmith could?

Nick Pope was a milkman
He also dropped off eggs
And now he plays for Burnley
in the middle of the pegs
I'll get my float...

Nick Pope was a milkman
He didn't enjoy the role
So he came to Burnley
In the middle of our goal.

Nick Pope was a milkman
And lactose intolerant
And now he plays for Burnley
Much better than Lee Grant

His name is Popey
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the West
His name is Popey
And now he plays for Burnley in the nets

I used to work with a bloke who was previously stationed at RAF, Boulmer. He then lived in a house at Alnwick and his milkman claimed that he used to play for Burnley, said his name was John Angus. The bloke new sod all about football so assumed it must be true.

Nick Pope was a milkman
He wore a milkman’s tabard
He now plays for burnley
Which makes him well hard
This song is cr*p
In fact it’s f*cking sh*te
And when he takes the bast*rds down
We will sing this song all night
