A very famous footballer
was remembered recently,
Who helped England win
the World Cup - which is
now history.
A very famous man indeed,
and a doting father,
Also a loving husband - to
Tina, his beautiful wife to
prosper.
Bobby played for West Ham -
and started as a schoolboy,
And has young Bobby got
older - he played football
with such joy.
He played at the highest
level - and he also enjoyed
the high life.
But he never ever strayed -
he loved his beautiful wife.
But ill health was to take
its course - and Bobby did
become poorly,
Bobby battled cancer - this
wasn’t the end, surely?
His football career was a
success, but his health was
fading now,
His battle with cancer - he
was losing hope, somehow.
Bobby Moore sadly died,
at the age of 51 -
Leaving a devoted wife -
and a loving son.
He also had a daughter -
who he really did worship,
Playing his beloved football -
in his England strip.
God Bless you Bobby Moore,
you never failed to score,
When you played the game
of football - you opened up
heaven’s door.
We know you’re up in heaven,
and keeping Final Score;
‘We’ll never forget a football
hero - the brilliant Bobby
Moore.’
