His Defining Goal

In Lisbon he scored the priceless winning goal A man who was modest to the depths of his soul With a deft flick he diverted Murdoch's strike to score This winning goal to ignite the Lisbon Lion roar He was more than worthy of this celebrated side, The Lions who will forever be the pride of the Clyde This Celtic player has become for all time a legend His earthly life having come to its appointed end Waiting on him in Paradise at the pearly gates of heaven Billy et al will welcome Stevie of that famous eleven. Which uniquely won a remarkable football game To elevate them all into the soccer hall of fame.
