Stein, Johnston and Burns sat at a Heavenly Bar,
Waiting patiently to meet a bright new star,
The door it opened, the time was here,
The Great Shea Hamill arrived to an almighty cheer,
He approached the Legends, an excited fan,
To hear of their tales and stories his only plan,
But before he could speak, Jinky said with a smile,
"About time big yin, we've been waiting a while",
"The wee man's right", said big Jock Stein,
"We know of your love for the Hoops white and green",
"Your love for the Celtic we know to be true",
"But the truth is Shea, we want to talk about you",
"Forget about Lisbon and wee Jinky's faints",
"For the last few years we've been fans of All Saints",
"We watched in awe as you made them your own",
"And the All Saints OB Champions flag was famously flown",
"The players all loved you, their admiration was shown",
"Especially the son you never had, your Captain Eoin",
"Your signings were terrific, for talent you had a feel",
"But what did you want with wee fat Paul O'Neill",
Dear Shea was amazed as his hero's continued on,
They spoke at great length how his legacy shone,
And they looked down at his people, from way up above,
He was truly touched at their undying love,
The All Saints team, led by Paul and Joe,
Came out in their numbers, their love to show,
With your strength within them, they weren't dishearted,
They vowed to finish the campaign you passionatly started,
That day in Wakehurst, oh we'll never forget,
Against your team of Champions you wouldn't have bet,
Sitting on that sideline, you were proud as could be,
The pain didn't stop you, as everyone could see,
Though of all your achievements, and many there were,
To say your greatest wasn't in football, I think is fair,
A lifetime of happiness with your wonderful wife,
And 3 beautiful daughters, the loves of your life,
You taught us well Shea and although you've gone,
We'll all ensure your glorious memory lives on,
So take care dear fellow, you gave us such joy,
And for now our friend, farewell Old Boy.
