When We Were Kings.

Our victory parade through West London streets
The beating of Don Revie’s Leeds
A balmy night replay in Athens, Greece
Socking it to Spains Real Madreed.

Dave weren’t no flashy geezer
But a thinker through and through
Fond of Robert Frost poems and The Marquis
Of Queensburys, fine noble art, he perused.

The clear out at Chelsea, player power factions
Osgood and Hudson being eventually sold
Rumour Osgood thought himself a right double handful
Til Dave knocked The King off his throne and out cold.*

Our envy of Rangers, with Dave at the helm
Almost winning a division one pot
Liverpool coming from behind, late at Wolves to deny them
As the fat lady sang was a shock.

Dignity and coolness, as the Rangers team thrived
With Venables, Francis and Bowles
Though it didn’t work out for Dave at United
Well ahead of his time as play showed.

A member of the celebrated clique
Who became managers after leaving West Ham
The boy fron The Angel, winning two UEFA Championships*
As manager of the England youth team.

At yesterday match, the fickle faithful were ranting
At our latest new boss with pure venom,
Til they remembered the nights of Old Trafford and Athens
Switched off their angst, and paid due respect to Dave Sexton!
