As PennLive writes, "The Eagles Victory Song" was written by Charles Borelli and Roger Courtland. The words to the song showed up in Eagles' game programs as early as 1957, according to Philadelphia Magazine. Back then, the team played at the multi-purpose Connie Mack Stadium, first known as Shibe Park, a facility torn down in the mid-1970s (via the Society for American Baseball Research or SABR). At that time, Cortland and his band of musicians would lead rousing renditions of the tune at Eagles home games.
With Quarterback Bobby Thomason behind center, the team went 4 – 8 in 1957 and missed the playoffs that year, according to Pro-Football Reference. Simply put, the team wasn't very good in that period, and "The Eagles Victory Song," whether played by Courtland and his band, or later on by "The Philadelphia Eagles Sound of Brass," was not the team staple it is today. By the late-1960s, the Eagles were under new ownership, and "The Eagles Victory Song" began a long, slow fade from team memory.
