HILLS RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB
Tribute to Bob Short
HILLS ANGEL
- I would like to take a moment,
- Pay a tribute to a man,
- Although my words may not do justice,
- I doubt if anyone can.
- When I heard about his passing,
- We were saddened to the core,
- But I’d guessed that rugby game in heaven,
- Needed Bob a little more.
-
- You see Bob was a “Hills Angel”
- Dedicated to the cause,
- Never had he wavered,
- Nor did he want applause.
- He stacked the fridge at Yattenden,
- Swept the changeroom floor,
- He painted, cleaned , repaired,
- No one could ask for more.
- But his passion for the game itself,
- This could not be denied,
- He gave his support to Jimmy,
- Who rebirthed our seniors side.
- This year Bob saw Terry,
- Join a pretty special crowd,
- A crowd of only seven men,
- I’ll bet you he was proud.
- Shawn Howell, Cashew , Clarkey
- Richo , Bertram , Puff.
- 200 games for Terry Short,
- He’s made of the right stuff.
- Bob’s selflessness stood timeless,
- He encouraged, gave support,
- A life member and a champion,
- The Hills Angel, Robert Short.
