QUIET PLEASE

from the ABC set THIS SPORTING LIFE

If you are a City fan
Keep silent if you can
As you stand at Old Trafford
As silence falls in accord
Please don’t speak out
Please don’t scream or shout
Acknowledge the silence
For those who lived once
Don’t think about the “Babes”
Cold and dead in the carnage
If hatred in your heart and head
Stops you honouring United’s dead
Give your silence as a gift
In remembrance of Frank Swift

Fifty years now isn't it? Crikey time flies and all that. Confession time, I have no idea who Frank Swift was ... one of Busby's lot?

Hi Sooz,

Frank Swift was the Manchester City goal keeper before he became a jounalist.

Cheers
