The Football Club's Hero

In his young years he was healthy, happy and carefree
He is not the man that he once used to be
He seldom sees their son and daughter and their children and estranged from his wife
One can only say that not all is well in his life
In his young years one who knew of sporting renown
Amongst football fans a hero of the town
One never found to be wanting when put to the test
In the Club's Grand Final win he was voted the best
On ground by the sports writers on football's big annual day
Even great old memories of what was in time fade away
Time eventually does become everyone's foe
His better and happier years now do seem long ago
The football club's hero in his glorious prime
Now walks with a cane as one more victim of time.
