John Lambie (Partick Thistle Fc)

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The scent of the white owl cigar
Pervades the Firhill dugout
Of a different time and place
No fire without smoke

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 His name resolutely hewn
From the same immortal rock as
Shankly Busby Stein, football mavericks
And his words and deeds like theirs, mythological

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The Jags’ own
One John Lambie, aye, only one.

Notes

“That’s great. Tell him he’s Pele and get him back on.” Lamie’’s most famous quote, after being told that striker Colin McGlashan was concussed and didn’t know who he was in 1993.

John Lambie (1941-2018)
