One Love football
Published: Tuesday | March 3, 2009
The charity event saw a media invitational outfit taking on a referee's aggregation, followed by the feature game that saw a Masters and Celebrities team taking on an Entertainers XI.
There was much rivalry in the first game as heated exchanges ensued on the field. But it was no doubt entertaining as the media outfit challenged the more agile referees. After countless substitutions, both sides drew 0-0.
Game two
In game two, admid the shenanigans of MC's Pretty Boy Floyd and DJ L.A. Lewis, the more experienced Masters and Celebrities drew 3-3 with Entertainers. Brandon Murray scored twice for the Masters, while Lincoln Taffe added their other goal.
Wayne Marshall scored twice for the Entertainers, whose other goal was netted by Christopher Martin.
"It's a One Love game in remembrance of Bob Marley because he loved and played football also. I appreciate the turnout and everybody is just in one love," said Clive 'Busy' Campbell the organiser and promoter.
Grammy Award-winning artiste Toots Hibbert from Toots and the Maytals and singer and record producer Derrick Harriott were also honoured at the annual event.
"To be honoured is always a great feeling," Harriott said. "When I had my presentations at the VIP Club in the 70s Bob was on my show twice. So to be honoured in recognition with a great man such as Bob, it is very nice to be appreciated."
