RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLAYER
(For Martin Peters )

We always think of you as quiet,
Unassuming. 

Not the first name on the list that’s remembered
But not the last either. 

Scorer of the other goal
But somewhat overshadowed by the holy trinity 

Diligent and studious,
Space, movement and awareness 

Skill and technique without the swagger,
Star quality without the arrogance 

Like the ball you scored with
Your game was perfectly rounded and complete 

The right place and the right time
And that was you ... 

The right place, the right time
To score that vital goal 

The right place, the right time
To be a vital part of that winning team

Right place, right time
Right player

Paul Cookson
