Here, have a killing
In fact, giant teams here, have two
The FA Cup means a lot to me
But it means probably nothing to you
“Be strong, serve Town only,
know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits”
That’s the poem I wrote for the first time
I saw a man with ten clubs to his name at the Kenny gates
Mr Rendell, that’s his name
No one ever knew his name cause he’s a journey man
Never thought twice about him,
Until he took his moment of fame with both hands
Now that I know him, those You Tube replays
I’d love to be in his goal scoring shoes
Getting there at the near post
And leaving the Norwich fans confused
Go ahead, Mr Rendell
Go ahead, Mr Rendell
Mr Rendell has freedom
A freedom of the Canaries penalty box
Free to be without the worries of a man marker
For Mr Rendell’s a fox
His only worries are injury
And an occasional harassment by away fans
Bench warmer they call him, but I just saw him
Send Town fans crazy in the stands
Dons, are they really civilized, yes or no?
Who are we to judge?
When thousands of Bedfordshire men could be entranced
By the prospect of a fifth round grudge
Mr Rendell has given us this greatest of days
A wondrous day of which we talk
Has our Cup dream gone too far?
To a wonderland with him we’ll walk
Mr Rendell a giant killing hero
But not to all
I see you score in joyous, bursting pride
Realize that all in all you stand tall
Go ahead, Mr Rendell
Mr Rendell, yeah
Mr Rendell, yeah
Mr Rendell, go ahead
Mr Rendell
Lord, Mr Rendell
With profound acknowledgements and respect to Arrested Development and, indeed, Scott Rendell.
They’ll be dancing in the streets of Bedfordshire tonight….

Maybe I a dreamer, a rose tinted wearer (but not in the realms of Aunt Daph) but even when I saw the draw I knew Luton would do it. I still believe LTFC are a big club, a giant of the passing teams of the 80s, staunch loyal supporters we have nothing to worry about playing Norwich, they are tiers below us. Apparently things have changed, but this shows it to be untrue. It was no giant killing, we are no Sutton United. I am hoping for Pleats Tottingham in the 5th round.
It’s just another victory.
Maybe I have more in common with Aunt Daph than I thought!

What is this? You’re not serious that Luton actually beat the mighty canaries are you? Really? Tsk, next you’ll be telling me that Delia had been at the cooking wine and disgraced herself on national television, allegedly.
