WERE YOU LOOKING DOWN, WILF? 4-4-07
Louis Spence
Were you looking down Wilf, were you with me Dad
Sitting with John Widdowfield and Harry's young lad
Weren't the fans terrific, did you hear them roar
Didn't Boro start well and what a time to score
How about their boots now, that stadium n' all
It would have been amazing to see you on the ball
Just to watch Juninho must have made you grin
Bet you had a chuckle when that penalty went in
Hope it made you smile, Wilf, I hope it made your day
And every other Boro fan not here with us today
I saw you play at Ayresome in 1953
Me Dad stood in the Holgate and got me in for free
I met you just before you died in the cafe on Marske stray
We talked about the old times, you made me laugh that day
I drank with Steven Gibson the night the cup was won
And through the tears and umpteen beers I said how well he'd done
I told him that we loved him the way me Dad loved you
He said "Look Im no different, just Boro through and through."
Next time I pass your statue I'll linger for a while
But if I look real closely I know I'll see you smile
It's been a long old time Wilf but didn't they do us proud
The chairman and the manager the players and the crowd
It's been a long old time Wilf, at last we've done it right
We've gone from that great darkness and come into the light
Well done Boro. Thank you.
