Man of the Match

MAN OF THE MATCH

by Rob Free

It’s not about winning or losing

It’s not about glory or shame

It’s whether or not you can walk tall

Or at all at the end of the game

It’s not about scoring the winner

Or saving the penalty kick

It’s not about helping the ref’

Or calling the linesman a prick

It’s not about being a hero

It’s not about being the best

It’s all about bonding as brothers

And putting yourselves to the test

It’s all about playing with passion

It’s all about playing with pride

Playing your part with honour and heart

Is something that comes from inside

It’s all about playing whatever

In rain or in hail or in sun

It’s all about putting your life on the line

It’s all about having some fun

It’s not about boosting your ego

Or being the best of the batch

It’s simply to stop you from crying

That’s why you’re our man of the match
