I still remember, in black and white

Seeing a triangles, become a square

Armstrong taking one small step

To prove that humankind could go there


Just as high in ‘74

Joe Harvey returning to Wembley Way

The Cup Tyneside loved

Could not return, a bloke named Keegan

Spoiled the day


The Tartan Army, marched in time

All the way to the Argentine

Gemmills goal was wonderful stuff

Too little, too late, and just not enough


To the Malvinas, they marched on again

To shepherds and sheep, new freedom came

Apart from th minefields! So carefully laid

Argentines gone, Scots Guards they stayed

Glimpses of past decades. I wonder what the big memories will be that linger in our grandchildren's minds
