the young men I watched
as a kid
play football
win trophies
are old men now
ill, dying, dead

maybe it is sad
but I am glad
I saw them play
at their peak
providing memories
of which I can speak

they light fires
in my eyes still
Davies, Hiron, Ball
I still see them all

~

n.b. There are many, many more. Thank you lads.

        Absolutely. A wonderful footballer, iconic pundit, and, by all accounts, an all round gent to boot. Hoping he pulls through 🖤🖤
