Putting old fashioned boots on
since 1893

I take a wee glimpse at the lush green grass
too young I were for Hampden Park

Too old to get my boots back on
to run on for the late old man
run on with St Andrews United

with the east coast Saints
Before my days come dark
for my dad and my roots
but I’ve got nae boots!

Notes

A ‘wish I could do it all over again’ ode, and for Junior Football Clubs and their followers. May clubs like St Andrews United JFC always be represented on a ‘lush green grass’.’ If I could get my boots on!
