Few people associate Bob Marley with soccer, but he was an avid player. He was considered to be so good, that if he given up his music career, he would have played football professionally.
He lived from 1945 - 1981. He is generally considered
the best reggae singer and songwriter in history. In
1977, he was diagnosed with skin cancer, which started in
his toe. The doctors recommended amputating his toe,
but Marley refused on religious grounds. The
Rastafarian did not believe in amputation. The cancer
eventually spread throughout his body and he died on May 11,
1981 in a hospital in Florida. |
