Micky Elliott Rip

It's so sad to hear the news today
Another brother has passed away
Mick elliott is his name
This is Trully a real shame

Ellydog as he was known
A great bloke and mentor  for all below
He didn't mince his words this is true
But always willing to help if you were in a stew

I first met mick in a place called Bramcote
Where people ran around without a coat
By coat I mean without a stitch
This was just some of the antics

501 jasper was his det
All his crew will never forget
I never served with him on tour
From what I hear it was never a chore

An FC Barnet fan he certainly was
Even if never winning was a cause
Always believing they'd win the FA Cup
Oh micky boy never happen so shut up!

Never offended or hurt by his mates
Mikey elly dog your now at those pearly gates
You've joined some other really great guys
Keep looking over us from the sky's

I hope you are now at peace
But you have left a empty space
Not up their but here on earth
You will be missed can't replace your worth

Rest in peace ellydog
Save a place round the burning log
Pull up some sandbags and have a natter
About all things that don't really matter

You were a legend in your own right
Trully be missed your star shines bright
I hope you have found your peace
But no more mention of Barnet please
