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.
