COME ON FOREST
Forest beat Malmo in seventy nine,
Winning the final, the very first time.
Playing in Munich against all the odds
One nil to Forest we thanked all the gods.
That year was special because it was first,
We want another to quench our new thirst.
No Trevor Francis or Stan Bowles up front
Facing the Hamburg, we weren’t in the hunt.
That Bernabau ground was Real Madrids,
We had some players no more than young kids.
Shilton was keeper and best in the game,
Captain McGovern was winner again.
One nil the score line was same as last year,
Robbo the scorer from Birtles I hear.
Lloyd was defender with Burns by his side,
Viv was the full back with Bowyer out wide
Mills had a good game along with O’Neill,
Bind altogether to make the team feel.
Gray is the last man to fit in the team,
John Hare and Bryn Gunn were subs in our dream
Poor Kevin Keegan was playing for THEM,
Cloughie and Taylor produced a real gem.
Ruffle his hair doo and pull at his shirt,
Slide in hard tackles and grind in the dirt.
English teams won the real European Cup 6 years running. As well as other years
Liverpool 77, 78, 82
Forest 79, 80
Villa 81
