Still burning.

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Boy, you should have seen him play
He was simply brilliant, and on his day
With his scintillating skill and indomitable will
He’d turn any game his way.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 With a brave and tireless heart
He would run teams down till they came apart
And you never saw him stop he would run until he’d drop
He was the master of his art.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 So here’s to you my old friend
I salute you now, a leader among men
With a firm handshake and a ready smile
And a flame that never died
Eddie Kyle.

Notes

Eddie, now scouting for Newcastle, is an ex-pro who I played alongside for many years at local league level. He was, and remains an inspiration to many. Different class.
