Russell Ebert Oam
A hand pass out of the pack
Without needing to look back
Holding the premiership cup up high
A banner proclaiming God to run by
Four Margery Medals around his neck
If he was playing a sure fire bet
Six best and fairest for Port Adelaide
A club that bred success that couldn’t fade
Russell Ebert was a legend of South Australian sport
Who shared himself with us without a thought
For he is one for the ages now
A beloved player who knew how.
