Johnny Thompson
About a celtic player who died
Hi,
John Thompson was accidentally killed when booted in the head, diving for the ball at the feet of a Rangers forward.
Johnny Thompson
There was a lad named Johnny Thompson
From the Fifeshire coast he came
To play for Glasgow Celtic
It was a team of storied fame
On the 5th day of September
When the Rangers Club he played
Johnny Thompson saved the Celtic goal
For his club his life he gave
I took a trip to Parkhead
To see them play a game
As the players came running out
it did not seem the same
A famous face was missing
From the Green and White brigade
And they told me Johnny Thompson
His last game had played
The fans they now are silent
As they travel far and near
No more will they cheer John Thompson
Who was football's brightest star
So come on Glasgow Celtic
Stand up and play the game
For in your goal a spirit stands
John Thompson is his name
