The year was nineteen sixty three
Nottingham a new enlistee.
Nigel first opened his eyes
under Robin Hoods august skies.
Heanor Town his amateur start
defender his elected part.
Shrewsbury town his pro start
six years then depart.
Sheffield Wednesday his next stop
as captain he was no flop.
On his watch the league cup
then promotion a big move up.
Middlesbrough next and captain again
Robson recognised his football brain.
Two promotions he inspired them to
then Pearson bids playing adieu.
Commencing his management career
a rough ride before moving into gear.
He takes Leicester into league one
amazingly it was his swan song.
Leaving Leicester was a shock
his management as solid as rock.
Eventually they got him back
he made drastic changes front and back.
Getting Leicester in the Premier League
and showing no battle fatigue.
Up front by a mile
they sure did it in style.

Derby County eh. Missed out on promotion once again, perhaps the influence of Pearson will do the trick.
