BOOTS

Boots across his shoulders, striding through the park Bright young man of 20, out to make his mark On his way to Ayresome, living out the dream Playing centre forward for his hometown football team And yeah, I was there. Goals were this lad's business, poaching was his game Scoring by the dozen, on his way to fame Stealing all the headlines, stirring up the crowd Mixing it with hard men, bloody but unbowed And yeah, I was there. Never ducked a tackle, never jacked it in, Never stopped competing till a draw became a win Always put his head there, always had a go Always 90 minutes and he always stole the show Looking back in wonder, deep down memory lane Matchdays in the Holgate, sunshine through the rain Five fantastic seasons, never quite enough The legend in my lifetime that was Boro's Brian Clough And yeah, I was there Oh yeah....... I was there. ------------------------- Thank you for reading this. WATCH ME SING THIS IN CONCERT ON YOUTUBE, 'BOOTS - LOUIS SPENCE' THANK YOU.
