Belfast Bonesy

Belfast Bonesy

By Paul McCann

Bonesy was a Belfast boy he went in boots and all .

He headed one two’s at practice  up against the wall .

He dribbled  and at the same time  threw a body swerve ,

he knew how to have a dig and make that football curve .

if you asked him for a square ball he would send it there ,

he was good with both feet  and twice as good in the air .

He had a little problem sometimes a bit erratic ,

because  Bonesy was another  football fanatic .

Bonesy went on loan and from team to team he did go, ,

he knocked the ball about with some clout , rain hail,  or snow .

He took sick and the Doctor said, there’s no cure you know ,

when you’re football mad its best to show them what you know .

So he back flicked and scissor kicked and threw dummies too,

he sent over crosses  , as Belfast boys often do .

He put up walls outside the box , so they couldn’t score

and he run rings around them like a stormer on the shore .

Bonesy was that someone  ,you could always depend on

there he’d be suddenly  and the danger would be gone.

He was the linchpin that kept everything running smooth .

He’d  something to prove  Bonesy was always on the move .

Stay with him Bonesy let him know you’re there , mark him up ,

And keep them out , Knock it in and win the Dump Hill cup .
