Coming closer to score
A slip in the leg was all
Sending our best to turn
Got a sprain, strain on the leg
Deep, operation instead
Rested so well on bench
Till he couldn't be in shape no more
Shirts gone, fitness gone
What remains of our boy.
...
...
The number was 10
He was our best
Sending goals in the net
Making weak the opponent
Bending their knees
To pay obeisances to him
A dribble there
With a free kick here
Gamers love him on PES
Always deliver, never digress.
...
...
Stand up those sitting
All hail this king of the pitch
Respect to the skills
Talkof his many trophies
An eternal record of leagues
He was the best there will ever be.
