5. He loved Football

He loved football, if anything he desired most after music was his passion for football. One fine night, when Marley was just fifteen, he destroyed his shoes during a match and where upon his mother would beat him all around the house with a belt. It was then his uncle came to rescue. He always compared football to freedom, he often quoted,” I need that, free...football is freedom”. A football was never far from his side, even during his world tour he used to carry a football. Most of his tours with the "Wailers", they would play football before, during backstage and during sound-check. More over his best friend Alan Cole was a professional football player. Irony of his life was that he died of the continuation of a badly neat wound caused at the time of a football match!  6.Tribute by Apache Indian ( Bob Marley music) This might come as a bombshell.This man was  popular among Indians that Steven Kapur better as Apache Indian, a UK vocalist, singer, song writer and a reggae DJ gave a huge memorable tribute to Bob Marley by composing a song by the name “OM NAMAH SHIAYA”.
