Eighty years, a noble ode, A life that’s traveled every road, From Yorkshire's hills to worlds afar, With Linda, steadfast as the North Star. A Manchester United heart, In every match, you've played your part, Cheering under skies so wide, With crimson pride that never died. Two children, blossoms in your care, Grown with love beyond compare. Irish roots, a story told, In each embrace, in tales of old. Eight decades marked, and journeys vast, Yet rooted in the love that lasts— For family, football, life you've spanned, In honored lines, a gentle hand.
