JIM CHESTER PROUDFOOT

FORTY-NINE YEARS , TORONTO STAR SPORTS,
CHESTER PROUDFOOT , THE SIZZLE , THE STEAK.
BETWEEN THE LINES , THE INSIDE STORY,
A STORYTELLER , THE GIVE , THE TAKE.

THE SIXTIES LEAFS , THEIR GOLDEN YEARS,
HAROLD BALLARD , A DEAR OLD FRIEND.
THE ARGONAUTS WOULD BREAK HIS HEART,
FUMBLES , INTERCEPTIONS , THE WICKED BEND.

THE WORLD SERIES , THE BLUE JAYS,
CHESTER PROUDFOOT'S DREAM COME TRUE.
SECRETARIAT'S LAST RACE AT WOODBINE,
PAUL HENDERSON , THE MANY , THE FEW.

FROM GATE TO WIRE , A CHAMPION,
THE SPORTS STAR AT THE TORONTO STAR.
THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY USE TO,
JIM PROUDFOOT , THE MATCH , THE SPAR.
