Sean Conner of Belfast Town.
(Air Sean South of Garryowen)
1
‘Twas a dreary day in noughty four, when Sean Conner came to town,
The Rovers were a beaten team, their heads; they all hung down,
They had no courage on the field of play; their faces wore a frown.
But, Sean said “ Do not fear for long, as I’ll turn this team around.”
2
He set about it straight away, he searched both near and far.
“But first I need a number 2, and that man will be Gerry Carr”
A hero from the glory days, way back in ninety four,
And now the man to lead this band, up to the “prem-e-ore.”
3
He had the basis of a team; he needed just some more.
So, he placed his trust in O’Hara to close tight the door.
With the captain McNamara, and Burnsie by his side,
Two stalwarts of Conner’s men would stop the rushing tide.
4
Cretaro with his skill so fine, and O’Donnell from Donegal,
O’Grady, Faz and Foley too, stood up like a brick wall.
Kupono Low one of the best, that you will ever see,
With Flannery attacking strong, with the mighty Paul Mc T.
5
Alvin Rouse, Alverez too, both favourite’s of the fans,
Curran, O’Dwyer, McCarthy, Sheridan and Gorman,
Conal Murtagh from up north, McCann and Kusten,
Gallagher and Feeney, and Coolooney man Alan Flynn.
6
From now we will hear the cheering sound, of the Bit O’Red
As we march behind the Rovers, with Conner at the head.
Soon we will see the glory days, up in the Showgrounds,
And the man who will lead us all the way, will be Sean Conner from Belfast Town.
