Early retirement package

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Cantona’s boots hung too early
Not the Sir Stanley Mathew type
Clough forced to step down prematurely 
Gerd Muller chose the slippers and pipe

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Jim Baxter left way too soon
Cruyff much to teach and learn
Sol went back to the Arsenal
For Robbie an Anfield return

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Becks keeps match fit at Spurs
Henry at Gunners the same
North London could be the centre
Of an awesome training game

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Number 7
