The day has been coming, we've all been aware,
But to lose our Georgie, you just cannot compare
At 24 I'm too young to have seen him in his prime
But I relive his greatness on video all the time.

In 1996 I had the honour of meeting the great man
He ignited the room & left us in awe as nobody else can
As a hard core United fan I'm so so sad he's now 'parted
& to his family & friends my condolences are whole hearted.

A naturally gifted genius on the field of play
& an absolute gentleman I have the privilege to say
His photo hangs on my wall, his autograph treasured in a frame
Today I bid farewell to a true God of the Game.

I'm going to miss you Georgie & I'll forever love and adore
But I just know you've been greeted by Sir Matt &
your dear mum Ann at Heaven's door
There's never been a footballer more appropriately named
& the title of sports 'Greatest Ever' is truely claimed.
