This afternoon, perhaps even as you're reading this, I'll be attending the funeral of a valued former colleague with whom I shared another common interest. He'll be missed by many – GL
So long, my friend.
I’ll remember you fondly in the coming years.
Whenever I sought a kindly ear
You were there to listen, slow to judge
Giving cautious advice with the lightest touch.
I’ll miss the football chatter
About Hearts, the things that matter.
But this is promotion, you’re moving on.
And if next season’s fixtures aren’t quite the same
You’ll be all right, you played the game.
We’ll meet in the top league before too long
But you were different class all along.
