They’re ready for Action! Over the past 13 weeks, you have been voting for your favourite players to take their place in the Total Tranmere Rovers Dream Team and now the line-up is complete. Here we take a look at the team helped by a wonderful poem by one of our talented Message Board Posters.

Total Tranmere Rovers Dream Team Line-Up (4-4-2)

 

 

 

I’m sure most readers will agree that this is a strong team indeed from Rovers’ past and it would be a joy to see these players playing together if the Total Tranmere Rovers Dream Team could become a reality.

 

Message Board Poster Sharon Marshall (aka JohnnyKingIsGod) sums up the dream team and her own views on its players in the form of a poem.  Total Tranmere would like to thank Sharon for allowing us to use this verse.  We thought many of you would like to view it as it is certainly very good…..

 

 

TRANMERE ROVERS FC DREAM TEAM

In goal there’s “Nicko” as steady as stone
Swapped blue for white and found a new home
Right back is Yatesy a machine scoring goals
In the Cup he was magic – St Yates Day now known!

From the youth ranks McGreal a local lad born
Determined and solid for strikers a thorn
Clint Hill was the backbone with passion and fire
Threw his boots to the Kop End when he bid goodbye!

Gareth Roberts a red but he soon saw the light
He caught a ferry cross the mersey and signed for SuperWhites
Mogsy a legend who could cross like a monk
Fast in his running like a man with three lungs!

Kenny Irons a born leader a Prenton Park Star
Threading balls down the channels with a snakecharmers art
If you needed to find him the Kop End would cry
“He’s always in the pub and his name is Kenny Irons!”

A talent was Koumas born to wear football boots
Got the crowd off their seats each time he turned to shoot
Passed through defenders like a ghost through a wall
All down Dacre Hill you could hear the SuperWhites roar!

“Wee” Pat on the left wing his passing pure class
A player of grace on the Prenton Park grass
What he lacked for in height he made up with soul
And his heart gave its all and is measured in gold!

Ian Muir came on a free in Nineteen Eighty Five
And his cross against Exeter kept the Rovers alive
A record of goals but the memories worth more
Thre may be 2 Ronaldos but there’s only 1 Ian Muir!

Aldo on one leg worth twice those with two
Thunder and lightning he packed into his boots
Quite good for a red team but the Whites saw his best
And he always looked good with the name “WIRRAL” on his chest!

John King is the Gaffer, respect he commands
And unlike poor Bob Paisley he has his own stand
He’s up there with Kendall and Busby and Shanks
For his Prenton Park Legacy the faithful give thanks

A word for Frank Worthington, memorable goals
Elvis in footie boots pure Rock & Roll
And Birkenhead’s finest the best that there’s been
A local born hero, immortal Bill Dean

Tranmere Rovers Dream Team that rolls back the years
To the days of the Cup runs and Premier so nears
Their names all deserving, they’d fight for the cause
But there’s room for another, my hero Ronnie Moore!
