Goodbye Ossie

Poet Shot

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 “Ossie, Ossie, is the King!”
That’s the song the Shed would sing
His picture hung up in my room
Another hero gone too soon

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 A million boys would shout his name
Copying their hero during a game
“Peter Osgood…… What a run!”
Commentating and playing all in one

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 To the old fans, he harked back
To players of yore, like David Jack
To us, he was Jumpin’ Jack Flash
Pop star style, plenty of cash

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I always remember that goal he scored
When he dived, full length toward
that cross, to score for Chelsea
And win the cup back in 1970
……………(Oh, how we hated Leeds!)

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 So today I’m feeling a little older
The world outside seems so much colder
That biting wind now seems too sting
Goodbye to you Ossie, you were the King
