Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. The heroes standing with me are examples of this power. They are valiant not only on the playing field but also in the community both local and international. They are champions and they deserve the world’s recognition. Together they represent an active vigorous hall of fame, a hall of fame that goes out into the world spreading help inspiration and hope. Their legacy will be an international community where the rules of the game are the same for everyone and behaviour is guided by fair play and good sportsmanship. I ask you now to rise and join me in commending the original inductees into the World’s Sports Academy Hall of Fame. Peace is the greatest weapon mankind has to resolve even the most intractable difficulties. But to be an effective agent for peace you have seek a not only to change the community and the world. What is more difficult is to change yourself before you sit to change others and it is absolutely essential  for the leaders of the community and the world to create an atmosphere where those good men and women can show their maximum abilities in trying to resolve problems in a peaceful manner. And that is why a legend like Pele and all these behind me are our heroes, are our hope because whatever they do in their respective fields peace they are promoting peace. These are monarchs. They are kings and queens not as a result of heredity but as a result of their personal commitment and efforts. It is one of the most enjoyable moments for me to be able, as a pensioner, to take part in a function of this nature. Thank you!
