  • FBL-WC-2019-WOMEN-JAM-MUSIC-MARLEYAllan "Skill" Cole, Jamaican former footballer and tour manager of Bob Marley and The Wailers, speaks during an interviewed in Kingston, Jamaica, on May 17, 2019. In Jamaica, the spirit of Bob Marley is inescapable: it permeates the Caribbean island nation, even its football pitches -- a sign of the late reggae legend's passion for the sport. After Marley's death, his children picked up the torch -- and the country's women's team, who have qualified for their first-ever World Cup this summer in France, owe a lot to the musician's daughter Cedella Marley. "Two things he loved were music and soccer," says Cole, a onetime local football star who befriended the music icon in the 1960s. Cole told AFP that Marley was a "fanatic" about the beautiful game, and liked to organize pick-up matches with his bandmates between concerts.
