 BOBBY CHARLTON HERO OF ONE ERA

A Gentleman in the football pitch

That was the week that was

Saturday night match

Of the day

And the news reels of David Frost

Old merry England that I knew

Carnaby street. miniskirts

The Beetles and top of the pops

Sir Robert was a man of the North

Who nwv er complaines never ezplained

Clean in the tackling

Always elegant with the ball

And cannon shots  outside the penalty area

The glorious goals

I saw him evolving and dribbling

In Old Trafford

But the great Day of Bobby s life was that Saturday afternoon

July 1966

In Wembley when he raised the World Cup 3-2 to Germany the ghost goal from Hurst, Cohen, Cooper, Bobby More, Nobby Stiles jumpig without his denture plate

I saw the big game

And Banks as a goal keeper

Good old merry England

black and white TV

In Mini raids and fish and chips

Hitch hiking in the big roads

Staunch beer, love and kisses

Parties and dancing halls

England my England

Was a dream

The paradise of my youth

A fairy tale

And Bobby Charlton was a knight

We never had it so good

Harold MacMillan said

Riding his horse from the Moors Dales
