'A Club Legend

In that memorable Grand Final such a great game he did play

But the man he was two decades back he sure is not today

Now in his early fifties the years have left him gray

Time even takes care of the best as some are known to say

In that memorable Grand Final he was the best on ground

And the cheers of his club supporters in his ears did resound

Like the other surviving members of that Premiership team his better days long gone

For anyone time does not wait it just ticks on and on

But to the club supporters he's still a legend and a legend he'll remain

And those who watched him in his footballing days fond memories do retain

Of the dashing onballer who for the club played many a marvellous game

The passage of time may have left him slower but the passage of time has not dimmed his fame

He was a great footballer when he was in his prime

But that was twenty years ago and that's going back in time.
