The Lisbon Lions who ran
Never a team in tow
They matched Internazionale man to man
All born in touching distance of Glasgow
Cappellini felled by Craig, Mazzola fires in the pen
Inter retreat into a cocoon like defence
As it looks much like boys versus men
Gemmell levels from Craig’s pass, as things start to get tense.
Eighty three minutes, Gemmell is allowed space
Murdoch’s shot deflected by Chalmers to score
The crowd bay for the countdown race
As the Lions get ready to roar
History, as the Bhoys hold on in Lisbon town
And thus become the very first British club to lift the crown
