A poetic tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson

Oh Sir Alex Ferguson, seldom called Chapman,

A lad from Govan, an inspiration, a motivation,

A knighted champion.

Thee on field displayed artistry,

Spawned us history, left a legacy,

For the rivals, drenching misery.

Oh Sir Alex Ferguson,

I was a straying sperm,

When you reached Old Trafford’s helm,

Now a man in making.

You are our dearest teacher,

A scholar, an advisor, a caring shoulder,

And that colossal godfather.

Twenty six years it was,

Many a hurdle did you surpass,

With time you swam across,

With patience and elegance.

You’re the heart and zest of time,

Life’s cardinal shine,

You’re the earth and skyline,

The soil and life beneath sea line.

Oh Sir Alex Ferguson,

I swear in the name of heaven,

I will go with you forever,

Here there, near and far.

And, I with you dearly,

Like Burham’s Barmy army,

Forever will be your red army.
