In Parky We Trust

by @Gav_The_Bantam

Phil Parkinson, he is our man.

He’s lauded by all Bantams.

For others, who had come before,

Proved nothing, merely phantoms.

---

Despair and woe, The Decade of Hurt,

With players unworthy of our shirt.

PP came, swept that away,

Instilling passion to our play.

---

He is our king, our liege, our hero.

He dragged us up when we were zero.

Worth every praise, each accolade.

He is Sir Phil, Lord of Valley Parade.

---

In years to come his name will be

Writ large in Bradford history.

Wembley twice, crack penalty takers,

Promotion with “The History Makers”.

---

Let’s not forget Phil’s backroom squad.

To miss them out would be quite odd.

There’s Parkin and Ducky. Nick Allamby

Who keeps players fit to minute 93.

---

We fans adore him all year round

To May from early August.

Our motto is proudly claimed

“In Parky we will trust”

---

Of course Phil’s made the odd mistake,

Poor signings there have been.

But, on the whole, they’ve gelled ‘reet well.

Alright, let’s forget, striker (?) Aaron McLean.

---

Parky’s restored faith and belief,

Pride once more in our City.

For, let’s be frank, before he came,

We were really very

Shambolic.
