Granddad Paddy

About my Granddad hard to understand if you are not familiar with Manchester united

Granddad Paddy

I am Irish not English
He always used to say
Now shut your mouth
footballs on utd are playing away

As a teenager he was hard to handle
His compelling truths showed life at a different angle

Not afraid to put us in our place
Some humbling words straight to our face

Like Sir Alex he could be full of praise
But when we where wrong we suffered the hairdryer for days

He was always happy we met our goals
More important to him than even Giggs and Scholes

He was always generous
Always kind
Glory Glory
Man Utd
Was always on his mind

He loved to sing he loved to dance
He always gave us one more chance

He loved his kids till his dying day
His thoughts and prayers where never far away

For Our Grandad

Note
The hairdryer is a nickname the Manchester united footballers used to describe the telling off they would get
from the manager in the dressing room when they where playing poorly
