Gary Speed – The Welsh Dragon

First to five hundred in the League
With Ratcliffe he was Mancot's Lord Mayor
Planet football bond in sorrow
For Wales most capped outfield player

Part of the famous Leeds quartet
Strachan, McAllister and Batty
Anfield hushed in total silence
Shay Given cried at the Liberty

Ryan Giggs “totally devastated
Bobby Gould grief clad
"A great person,” he sobbed with angst
“A great skipper and a great lad"

From Beeston to Downing Street
Pm Cameron “deeply saddened”
May the roads clear your pathway
God Speed now weary Welsh dragon

Number7
