Crispin Thomas from Stroud is the editor of the largest free football poetry website in the world - the Football Poets - a group dedicated to celebrating all that is great about the Beautiful Game through the medium of poetry and performance poetry.

Here Crispin performs one of his own compositions on the pitch at Forest Green Rovers while attempting a few tricks with the ball.

Crispin's poem is about all the stuff he hates about the game - racism, transfer fees, wages, ticket prices, and a lack of football facilities for children - but also about the stuff he still loves about football.

Football Stuff.
