Summary: Official FM2008 trailer, a re-write of the poem If by Rudyard Kipling

First look at the Football Manager 2008 Trailer. It's a re-write of the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling.



The poem

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, and blaming it on you If you can trust yourself when the board, fans and media doubt you, yet inspire your team to win by a goal, or two

If you can save your team from certain relegation with nothing but your will to win Then give them all the credit, massaging the egos of eleven men If you can push your superstar, to always up his game Or meet with total disaster and shoulder all the blame If you can take a rising star and teach him the pitfalls of success Or stand up to the short-sighted board, when they're demanding more for less

If you can go in 3 nil down, then take your men and lift their heads Or endure abuse from the opposition and leave the retorts unsaid If you can handle the media spotlight, whilst knowing they wait like wolves for your fall Or bring on another striker, risking it all If you can motivate your men to fill those dying seconds with a last minute run Yours is the glory, the game and everything that's in it And what's more, you'll be a Manager my son.
