Jack 40

My eternal thanks I wish to express With gratitude to John from the local press Writing us off completely, with the words to the public he did say Advising us to avoid embarrassment and not turn up to play In a cup final against opposition with superior skills and refined touch However, names and reputations don't guarantee winning matches as such In my time in the game, I've learned a few things through the years If you don't start correctly it's hard to move up through the gears The words my players took to the pitch were loud and clear Confidence without arrogance and respect without fear Thanks again to the man for the words he did write He was mentioned in the team talk, we were up for the fight When the match was over and all was said and done We turned up, he was wrong and we had won
