After a few drinks my uncle Davie used to sing his song. It started with 'an English man landed on Edmiston Drive'. How can you buy Willie Waddell.
Great Post, what a team.

How Can You Buy Willie Waddell
An Englishman landed in Edmiston Drive

And watched Willie Waddell with Critical Eye

"How can I buy him?" He asked Mr Struth

And Bill he replied, "I'll tell you the truth."

How can you buy all the cups that we've won

And How can you Buy Mrs Thorton's son

How can you Buy Our big Geordie Young?

And How can You buy Willie Waddell?

Nature bestowed All Her Gifts with A Smile

The right Foot, the Left Foot, the 'Noddle'

When you can buy All These wonderful things

Then you can buy Willie Waddell

"I'll give Thirty Thousand," the Englishman said

"And also a star," Mr Struth shook his head

"You can give thirty thousand, stars, moon And sun

But you still can't have Waddell, There's Only One."
 
The Deedle was born today in 1921.
