Playing For Honour Poem by Raimi Babatunde

And again today
They file out against them
Playing for honour
Representing their motherland
These ones are worthy
Ambassadors per excellence
Of over one hundred and seventy million
The are the chosen
Lift them up in prayers
That we be the 12th player
In that beautiful round leather game
That unites a Nation beyond rethorics
Go Eagles go! Go Falcons go!
We are with you all the way.
