Ossie's escape
The greatest sporting movie that's ever been made With a host of legends and a few actors thrown in Who would have given the prisoners a chance It was odds on that the Germans would win But never underestimate the power of hope As the 2nd half was a joy to behold From the certainty of defeat came a comeback well known And escape to victory was about to unfold I have watched the movie many times like you And remember the plot and story line But as I say with Osvaldo Ardiles last week He had a slightly different story and version from mine You see Ossie told the story , like it was so true And how Michael Caine was quite shit at the back And the fact it took 36 takes for Sly's save That even Pele was staring to crack He said about going to the room at half time And the bath disappeared to the ground Ossie jumped quickly as escape was in sight With the rats in the sewer that they found " we can win this " came a voice from the changing room Ossie was already thinking about a fine wine in France Ossie was fuming he had to go back As the rest of the team jumped a victory seeking dance I will always remember that flick over his head And how i wanted to do it the next day I wanted to pull on the white shirt with the stripes I thought I could be Carlos Rey And as the players disappeared as the whistle it blows The Pinot Grigio was now Ossies desire The story now finished but ask Ossie his take As the crowd roared and the decibels got higher The story was part of a question that was asked But the thing that's so funny and true Was the question was asked to Micky Hazard About playing in cup finals as he played in a few For those who attended this evening I speak What a privilege to hear this tale in Ossie's style In fact the whole night was a pleasure to run Even Micky gave a verse of "can't smile " COYS!
