It was not Bobby Charlton
nor Georgie Best I adored the most
from the famous team in red.
No, it was a wee blond Scot
who I tried to emulate on the park
but failed miserably I have to say
in my youthful days...now far, far away.
The iconic moment he back-heeled
the ball into United's net
when playing for City stands out,
he left the field in tears, United relegated.
How tragic that he is afflicted by double dementia
but his life is a wonderful story,
a golden player enshrined with glory.
