Mozambique gifted the Black Panther
Golden boot during England sixty six
Seven times the Bola de Prata
All heart, skill, speed, guile and tricks
When Eagles stalked the Ballon d'or prey
Up sprang Dictator Antonio Salazar
Barring a golden chance abroad to play
By decreeing Eusebio a national treasure
"Night of the long shots" saw Euro glory
In sixty two Di Stefano, the Real Marquis
Puskas' hat trick left Benfica feeling sorry
Black Pearl led a fightback to win it five three
North Korea struck three in half an hour
"Don't go four down," was Simoes plea
Goodison World Cup shock far from over
O Rei's four goal blast ended the game five three
Scoring more than a goal a game
Benfica coursed through every blood cell
Maputo's son who found Lisbon fame
Stadium of light and football bids farewell
