John Houlding
 

the tune of Irish rover

 

 

In the year of our Lord eighteen ninety and two
John Houlding evicted the blues
From their Anfield abode on the Walton Breck Road
He was tired of seeing them lose
Year's behind in rent all their money was spent
A bank that held nothing but zeros
But Houlding instead built a team dressed in red
Liverpool his Anfield heroes
