To a Genial Genius

No matter what he looks like now
Pontificating on the box on football matters
That don't matter.
I remember, in December's gloom, a shot,
A comet shot from him that I swear scorched its way
Into the net at Stamford Bridge.
And we forget bright summer's promise
Always ends in autumn leaves.
Thanks, Jimmy Greaves.
