Sport - Russell Ebert Like A Football God Poem by Paul Warren

Sport - Russell Ebert Like A Football God



We went to Adelaide Oval to watch the game
And to cheer a champion in football's fame
Russell Ebert played it tough but fair
On Port Adelaide's stage in the SANFL glare

Four Magarey Medals for best and fairest
Made him one of South Australia's best
He now forever stands in bronze
So fans can now sing his songs

On the eastern entrance of sport's SA home
With football in hand he stands well known
Ready to give out the hand pass so profound
He will stand forever on the Power home ground.
