Fans lose their minds as Swindon star Udoka Godwin-Malife sings John Legend in initiation

talksport.com, 6 August 2023, 12:19
Swindon star Udoka Godwin-Malife has had fans' jaws on the floor after his initiation song went viral.

The former Forest Green ace signed for Swindon on Thursday and has had little time to mingle with his new teammates.

And while the Robins made the trip to Colchester for the first game of the League Two season, the match was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

However, there was still entertainment present at the JobServe Community Stadium - just in the visiting dressing room.

That was because Godwin-Malife absolutely smashed his initiation song, putting on a perfect rendition of John Legend's 'All of Me'.

Swindon star Charlie Austin uploaded a video of his new teammate on social media, with the caption: "To the people who don't follow me on insta this is @udooka11 giving us a sing song."

Godwin-Malife's dulcet tones left the dressing room stunned into silence while fans have had a similar reaction online.

One fan wrote: "That's just killed giving a song as an initiation, no one following that."

Another posted: "Bro has got his teammates crying in the dressing room."

A third replied: "Incredible voice. Using the water bottle as a microphone is a nice touch. Deadline day move to Columbia Records for an undisclosed fee."

And this fan said: "If football doesn't work out, he's ready to be John Legend."

While this supporter put: "Next stop, Britain's Got Talent."

Godwin-Malife signed for Swindon after his contract at Forest Green expired in June.

The 23-year-old made spent four years at The New Lawn but could not prevent them from getting relegated to League Two last season.

He became the fifth signing at Swindon this summer, who have ambitions of getting promoted this season.

Austin's arrival has particularly sparked hopes of a top finish after returning to the County Ground in 2022 - 11 years after his last stint where he scored 37 times over two seasons.
