Exotic with allure

He’ll push the team
Up from the back
Like a general and his tanks
Then he’ll create sheer pandemonium
In the opposition’s ranks

Intelligence is paramount
To this form of attack
The maestro who conducts it
Must have cunning, guile and tact!

Juventus came to play
What I saw them perform there
Is still with me, to this day!

Wave after wave of Viola play
Failed to break deadlock
When one Old Lady stalwart
Gave the home fans such a shock

He picked the ball up
On his eighteen yard line
Then went off on a run
Two or three one two’s
With team-mates
Left Fiorentina stunned

In what had seemed like seconds
He was in the Viola’s box
Passed the ball to Paulo Rossi
Who was sniffing like a fox!

Rossi scored, Juve fans roared
Viola fans said prayers
In full flow, a libero
Is a master stroke that scares

The conductor of this classic counter attack
Who thrilled us all stood there?
Juve’s late lamented truly brilliant
Libero and captain, Gaetano Scirea!
