Rod Wallace left, Le Tissier right
Young Al between them in the night
Branfoot called him worth the gold
Twenty-two years when he was sold
David Speedie moved the other way
Saints couldn't make him stay
Like Roy of the Rovers brought to life
Working class hero cutting like a knife
Power in the game, working through the pain
Forty-nine headers to shake the ground
Target man who'd always be found
Classic English steel and grace
Greatest warrior of his place
Charleroi night against German force
Changed Three Lions' losing course
Gullit tried to bench his name
Only lit the striker's flame
Bobby came to set him free
Then scored times three
Like Roy of the Rovers brought to life
Working class hero cutting like a knife
Power in the game, working through the pain
Forty-nine headers to shake the ground
Target man who'd always be found
Classic English steel and grace
Greatest warrior of his place
