O'er
moor and o'er dale, step into the fairy tale,
Of football greats of yesteryear,
Smoking fags and drinking beer,
Bernard was swift, an eye for goal,
Terry the wizard his thunder stole,
As Bern retired, Terry he rose,
And drank champagne, and struck a pose,
He
was the man, showbiz and cool,
There was nothing he couldn't do,
He drove flash cars; he liked a drink,
A hit with the ladies he liked to think,
In
Bernard's career he hit the highs,
A football master and king of pies,
Bernado the adopted son of Spain,
Riding Madrid's gravy train,
A
fucked up knee, then too many pies,
Brought an end to all those highs,
So he limped off home to Bradford reserves,
After turning down a move to Spurs,
And
there it ended in the Texaco Final,
A goal at the death from the corner triangle,
Belly and in, Bradshaw was pleased,
He got a commentary job, his worries eased,
Meanwhile
Terry, playboy of the football league,
At Swansea, West Ham and Cork I believe,
The left sided dynamo, king of the field,
With a witty persona that sort of appealed,
He
hit the headlines for both good and bad,
He took cocaine; he was a lad,
Banned from the game, then injury came,
And took away the money and fame,
Now
fifty-four and forty-two,
They haven't really got a clue,
On cable TV, presenting lower league games,
They struggle to even remember their names,
But
they are happy, think they're on the up,
But also I suppose, they don't give a fuck,
Living on their pasts, their glory days,
And drinking every drop that their salaries pay.
