My own humble effort will be posted later today, Ralphy, but for now I thought a nice sporting tribute to our table-topping hero Buxton might be in order.
(Tune and original lyrics by The Who, of course.)
'Ever since I was a young boy
I’ve played at Spot-The-Ball
From Sunderland to Brighton
I’ve spotted that football
But I ain’t seen nothing like him
As far as I recall
That deadly Derbyshire kid
Sure Knows His Spot-The-Ball!
He homes in like an eagle
With eyes so sharp and keen
Seeing all the numbers
And always Spotting clean
He plays by intuition
Whilst other Spotters fall
That deadly Derbyshire kid
Sure knows his Spot-The Ball!
He's a Spot-The-Ball wizard
Who never seems to miss
A Spot-The-Ball wizard
Even when he’s on the p1ss!
How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?
Well, he ain't got no distractions
As he casts his Spotting-spell
Like 400-gram tins opening
And sudden fruity smells.
Never fails to get a near-miss
But more often hits the ball
That deadly Derbyshire kid
Sure knows his Spot-The-Ball!'
