A tribute to Bobby and some songs to cheer you all up

My tribute to our Bobby


I'm only 18 and never saw him play
But held my head in my hands as I read the news today
I heard of the passing of the great Bobby Rose
A true legend, a name that everybody knows
We'll never forget you, a favourite son
The player, the man, he was second to none
With just words alone it's hard to explain
There'll never be another like Bobby again
One of the greatest to ever play our game
Without him Collingwood will never be the same


These are lyrics I wrote much earlier in the year about last years grand final.
To the music of DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER - OASIS

Take a look at the salary cap, don't you know that it's crap
A little bit unfair
An extra 5 hundred grand, We can't understand
Why should it be there?

Trying to get a level playing field
We just want to get a fairer deal
Finals time you'll pay for your crime
Yeah wait until the finals race
We'll wipe that look from of your face!

You ain't gonna gonna burn my heart out...

And so the Magpies can wait, you'll know it's too late
as we're walking on by...
Soul slides away and don't look back in anger that's what we'll say

When Rocca kicked that goal, that's not all you stole
But it should of stood
You looked the other way, but it was ok
Only Collingwood

So it goes down in history
Nationwide popularity
Just Lynch another unfair free
While Tazza up the other end
Pushed in the back now don't pretend!

'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so the Magpies can wait, you'll know it's too late
as we're walking on by...
Soul slides away and Don't look back in anger that's what we'll say

(guitar solo)

And so the Magpies can wait, you'll know it's too late
as we're walking on by...
Soul slides away and Don't look back in anger that's what we'll say (x2)


And this one to the music of WONDERWALL - OASIS

Today is gonna be gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
And by now you should of somehow realised somehow what you've gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street that the fire in your heart was out
But by now I'd heard it all before and I never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And there's no team along the way that's easy
But I'll be loud, just make me proud, just please me

There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe...you're gonna be the one that saves me
And afterall...you're my COLLINGWOOD

(and repeat)

I've got more...but I'll let you digest these ones first. Cheers!

today i had to shed a tear i just cant hold it he was a great bloke and did heaps for our club, and it pisses me off when i have to put up with a dickhead boss saying why do i care about him when i didnt know him. That just wants me to go get a gun he kill the prick but it anit worth the yrs in jail

I also cried last night and thos morning so what if we are too young too of known him we are upset because he was one of the greatest blokes to ever live and was a great ambassador for the collingwood footy club he will be sorely missed by all but his spirit will live on forever.


LONG LIVE THE GREAT BOB ROSE!!!
