A million and seven hundred thou
Too expensive to be just some decoy

Yorkshire missed out on the prime of ‘Uncle Phil’s career
The prodigal son thus returned to Fir Park
As the faithful raised a chorus and cheer

from stand Davie Cooper
Butch made him skipper to guide the young lights
The twilight looked bright for this trooper

And so as Motherwell entertained the Tangerines
The Belshill boy decided to say farewell
A seizure marked his place in the pantheon of legends
Foe, Feher, Puerta, O’Donnell
