Alan Ball you were a hero, You brought a football match to life; You had your share of tragedy, When you lost your dearest wife I never knew you Alan But now that you have died It's as if you were my father And I just broke down and cried.
Your passing was so sudden And the tears of grief welled up I watched you in the final Of the sixty-six World Cup A nice man to all you knew Of whom bad words were never said There'll never be another man Like you. That's all, nough said.
B J WEBSTER, Fair Oak.
