I was always second best
Wanting to do something wild
But seen as a little pest
Growing up people knew your name
I was always the other brother
Our child hood exactly the same
Just like our beautiful mother
You had a gift that opened doors
A quality I didn’t have
You often won the football wars
I watched with a lad called Gav
We played together for a while
You got goals as I defend
You played lethargic but with style
It drove me round the bend
You won awards with every team
I always seemed so close
To have your skill was such a dream
Even just a dose
Even now as I continue to play
People remind me of your ability
“He was brilliant” I gracefully say
The support is my stability
Just once I wanted to be recognised
For more than what I know
And maybe win that first prize
No longer in your shadow
