In dusty tomes of yesteryears,
Where time, the reaper, casts its shade,
Lie stories lost and whispered fears,
Of football clubs that never stayed.

Upon the pitch where dreams were spun,
Where crowds once cheered in vibrant throng,
The echoes of a thousand suns
Now weave the threads of sorrow’s song.

They played with passion, bold and free,
Those clubs that faded into night,
Yet in the hearts of memory,
Their spirits blaze with endless light.

So here’s to those who walked the green,
Their banners high, their voices loud,
Though now they’re part of what has been,
Their legacy remains unbowed.
