Tribute To Stan

THE GREATEST Cup-winner Stan Still playing on at thirty-eight, Inch perfect crosses on a plate; With shimmy,side-step and dazzle He left the full back in a frazzle; An aging hero with twinkling skills, A pro sans modern day frills. Stan = Stan Mathews of Forties football(soccer) fame Brian Strand | Year Posted 2017
