He only won two trophies
And he's remembered for his knee
But Gary Mabbutt commands a space
In many people's hearts.
Ask the general public
Who's the nicest man in footie?
Most will say Lineker
But I'd remember Mabbsy.
He won sixteen caps for England
He played over six hundred league games
All the while he had diabetes
And never complained.
His broken legs were devastating
His own goal lost the cup
But injecting an orange on Blue Peter
More than makes that up.
For Gary Mabbutt was more than a footballer
He seemed a normal bloke
And his greatest ever performance
Was on The Queen's Nose.
