As I’m sure we’re all aware during this lockdown Thursday evenings have become synonymous with clapping for our NHS and key workers. One such key worker is Glasgow City and Scotland midfield star Jo Love whose current job is assisting in the production of hand sanitiser which is so crucial to us in these important times. In this poem I pay tribute to a team player and a star both on the park and off. I would like to thank Jo’s team mate and friend Hayley Lauder who provided a perfect summary of what Jo brings to the team in her best ever starting eleven video which I watched last night after watching our under 19’s beat Hearts in the chosen game on City TV As for the title I’ve went for only possible choice that would do Jo justice and that’s Number 6 as that’s the number she wears on her jersey. I hope you enjoy the read .
Number 6 (For Jo Love)
Dear Friends
If you value key workers
I’ve a story I want you to know
and then I’ve a favour to ask of you all
will you please show some love for our Jo
Her name may not be known to you
she doesn’t seek glory or fame
but when it comes to football
she plays an intelligent game
You see Jo does the simple things
and always does them right
she just steps up and gets on with her job
A team player on and off the park
our coolest penelty taker
is helping us now to beat the threat
of a very different danger
This threat it plays a dirty game
in ways that can’t be seen
In case you haven’t sussed it yet
I’m talking of Covid19
You see Jo works in a lab by day
and she’s helping to produce
the hand sanitiser that everyone needs
but you’ll never see her on the news
Yet still she just gets on with things
the way she’s always done
our number 6 will never give up
until this fight is won
She keeps her head in the difficult times
ask Brondby fans they’ll know
she’s a key player for City who always steps up
so please show some love for our Jo
