We'd moved to Rheindahlen
And those were good years.

Enter my room.
What do you see?
It's plastered with pictures
Of that famous three
Law, Best and Charlton
The Trinity.

I'd ride on my bike
To near Monchengladbach
To see Uwe Seeler
And the great Netzer play.

Then back home for highlights
On Dutch TV
With Johan Cruyff
Delighting me.

School had its highlights
Like the day I scored six
And our street team were famous
And beat the MPs.

So all in all good days
But good things must end
And the end of my story
Is almost in sight.

Footnote: Once at school a teacher asked us what MP stood for. Every hand went up. The first child she pointed at said 'Military Policeman'. When that wasn't the answer she was looking for every hand went down. MP in our world meant the red caps, Military Policeman.
