Next up was a game
That should have been cleaner
That infamous game
Against Argentina.
Alf at the end wouldn’t
Let them swop shirts
The story goes Ramsey got shirty
The tackling too rough
And the tactics plain dirty.
Rattin went off
For abusing the ref
It took them ten minutes
To get the guy off.
Alf called them ‘animals’
And got in hot water.
But, despite the kerfuffle
And mighty great fuss
1-0 to the English
The win went to us.
1-0 was sufficient
One goal would do.
But who was it scored it?
I’ll tell you who.
Greavsie was injured
As I’ve told you before
So the scorer that day
Was the famous Geoff Hurst.
Of whom more to follow.
