His decision was made when he heard this:
Slight change to the words
I dreamt I’d wear the jersey
On League Cup final day
I’d stand out there in Hampden Park
With a mighty part to play.
We’d come out of the tunnel
To a mighty Sneckie roar
We’d have our picture taken
Then head down to the goal
We’d line up with our captain
And march behind the band
And when they play the anthem
We’d face our flag above the stand
Cos my heart is in the blue and red
I’ll stick to what I know
The blue and red forever
No matter where I go
And when the ball comes towards me
I turn and head for goal
And i stick it in the corner
Like a bullet hard and low
And I dreamt I'd hold the medal
So precious in my hand
With the people all around me
And the ghosts up in the stand
Then on Monday evening
We’d bring the cup back home
Bonfires would be blazing
All along the road
Cos me heart is in the blue and red
I'll stick with what i know
Blue and red forever
In hailstones, rain or snow
Yes blue and red forever
That’s what I always say
Blue and red of Caley Jags
forever and a day.
