To Be Like a Father

To be like a father
One has to inherit the Fatherhood of GOD
A father that siteth on the management board
At game time he made all arrangements and calls
Supplied our uniforms, water and balls
If you had no Soccer shoes (cleat)
He made sure you had one complete
Half time whistle blown tense moment
Energy boosting we had Nutrament
Indeed, back then we were like pros
We had no star players (Ronaldos)
Nor a special one (Jose Mourinos)
Just our Manager/Father
Whom we called  'Kiddos'
