Bryson Keith Tucker

The referee needs no introduction, or whistle for a foul blow, When God raises his eyebrows, None argue with the penalty or throw,

The transfer window never closes, As new players arrive all the time, There’s always a top team to play on, As for the playbook, I just thought I’d bring my own. We kick off side by side in a minute, Cheered by my family, teammates and friends, Footballs really great in heaven, After your first whistle the matches never end.
