Football… the beautiful game, the people’s game and so on… we’ve heard all the one liners… but there’s one prophet that stated ‘Football is Music’… and that was one Robert Nesta Marley.
Bob loved football and played it with the same skill and dedication that he played his music and according to his good friend 70s Jamaican footballer Alan ‘Skill’ Cole ‘if music hadn’t been his guiding light he could have been a pro in Jamaica’.
Just imagine that… and there’s no doubt that Bob Marley would have signed for the Baggies and slotted in alongside of Regis, Cunningham and Batson… that would have been brill, and just imagine how cool the cup final song’ would have been if we’d have got to Wembley lol… Satisfy My Soul could have been a Brummie Road classic as could 3 Little Birds (Throstles)!
