We saw our Son at Wembley

We saw him on TV

In each attacking movement

That's where our Son would be

He dribbled like Stan Matthews

He shot like Geoffrey Hurst

From deep inside his own half

Emerging in a burst

Weaving through opponents

He left them in his wake

Heading for the goal line

A scorching shot he'd take

Left or right foot option

A wizard on the run

Taking scoring chances

Korea's famous son

Team player from the outset

A captain who could lead

Inspiring all who watched him

With elegance and speed

We'll miss his stunning brilliance

And artistry with ball

We wish a happy future

To one who has it all.
