Farewell To The Hero

Farewell to the hero he has played his last game
Though the club without him may not be the same
His best days as a footballer one can say had been gone
But in the minds of the fans his fame will live on
Always happy in victory and gracious in defeat
Eight times the clubs best and fairest a remarkable feat
But the heroes do come and the heroes do go
And eventually time becomes everyone's foe
But he sure was a credit to his code of football
To the club and the game he gave it his all
But today on his four hundred game for the club he called it a day
And was shouldered high by his team mates from the field of play
Farewell to the hero men like him are rare
His fame will live on as the club's greatest player.
