Glenbuck Son

Glenbuck Son 1913-1981 In Glenbuck he was born From an Ayrshire mine he did rise The man who would change so many lives With the Cherry Pickers he played the game With Carlisle United he first found fame At Deepdale with Tom Finny he did play Seven caps for Scotland he was proud to display As a manager new tricks to learn To Carlisle United he did return At Grimsby he cast his net The Glenbuck son's destiny was set Workington and Huddersfield he did run No to Liverpool in '51 Eight years down the line An historic day in December '59 All would soon fear the famous THIS IS ANFIELD sign Promotion in '62 Champions in '64 The Glenbuck son, Kopites did adore '65 to Wembley in May The Glenbuck son took the Cup away Now Into Europe he lead his team To be Champions of Europe was his dream Cheated in Milan, all was doom and gloom Now back home in his beloved boot room The Glenbuck son would sit in a huddle '73 he won a league and UEFA cup double May 74 back at Wembley once more Malcolm McDonald, what's the score? July, the Kopites heads are down The Glenbuck son has relinquished his crown September 1981 Rest in peace our Glenbuck son Forever we celebrate his memory Thank you to the KING BILL SHANKLY
