Hard grass 84: Bob Marley and football
by Wiep Idzenga, Henk Spaan, Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, Hugo Borst
Hard Gras is the literary football magazine in the Netherlands, founded by Henk Spaan and Matthijs van Nieuwkerk. We publish this evening from the introduction of the yet to come out number 84 and provide two fragments about Bob Marley and his link with football.
What exactly is hard grass is really clear on their own site: Hard grass is a leaf in the we-form. Not that we collectively are. From the seventies notions we have little. Writing and reading its individual activities. Hard grass is a magazine which is written for readers. These are people who like to retreat into a corner to surrender to text. There do not necessarily have to stand in the images, though we do not get in the way. However, it will gradually go prove that Hard grass is defined by the first person plural. The writers are hard grass. The readers are hard grass. We are hard grass.
Introduction
By Henk Spaan, Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, Hugo Borst
During Hard-grass dinner in January 2012, came Wiep Idzenga sitting around the table at Johnny Rep. Wiep at that time had only one topic of conversation. He had been looking forward finally one night not having to talk about Bob Marley. Marley was one of those singers who found escape in football. Elton John at Watford could be himself, Noel Gallagher at Manchester City goes through the roof, Rod Stewart Never miss a Scotland-England, Robbie Williams is one million pounds for a quarter shareholder at his favorite club Port Vale and the singer of the Dutch band Revelation Time itself was a nice player. Marley was literally addicted to football. Not infrequently started his concerts too late because the band members forgot the time when they were playing football. The band members were also selected mainly on their football talent because Marley did not wish to stand as a wildcard for example, he, of course, about a concert, organized a training game against a few pros from FC Nantes.
During that evening was Hard grass Wiep Idzenga not resist. He Mentioned the war, in this case, Bob Marley, the man in whom he has been deepened and a half years. "That I once met in an elevator in Libreville, the capital of Gabon where we had a training camp with St. Etienne," said Rep.. And so it was again an anecdote for that Hard-special grass which Idzenga a touching and surprising picture of the man whose life is more dominated by football than reggae.
Fragment is a

In Trench Town was the soccer the place to show you how hard and tough, but there were Bunny, Bob and Sledger in the beginning nothing. Not used to a real ball were they just laughed. There was also much harder than playing in Nine Mile. Especially Bob had trouble with the conversion earning him the nickname Miss Marley yielded, after playing as a girl. Marley had a tough time, and regularly frustrated he asked his mother why he was not just a black father, as the boys from the neighborhood, who belonged to 'little red bwoy. Bob ended up in fights and was also hit record. When his first black girlfriend at the expense of her family had to decide, for example. "We do not want no white man in our wide," rang her brothers words to Marley.
"Music and football kept him going. Singing and playing his homemade guitar he could lose his deeper feelings, "says Sledger. It was not surprising that his first solo picture titled 'Judge Not' meekreeg. Football Marley was so great that he did everything they get better. He looked closely at the players on the field near Vin Lawrence Park and at Boys' Town, the club of Trench Town, and practiced for hours to bring the ball to master. Marley progressed rapidly, and with a surplus of confidence rarely pulled his leg back, even if he played a custom wedding barefoot. He searched factions even aware that the boys rather disparaging about his skin color and length had done. And with success, for on the field forced Bob respect. Miss Marley Mr. Marley was, and he gained two nicknames by: Skipper (captain) and Tuff Gong (Tough Gang).
Fragment two
By Wiep Idzenga
It must be late sixties and early seventies have been when the morning a group of regular players on the field appeared. Clifford did not know them, but a cellmate from Trench Town is. What hours down there playing football, fanatical and with the knife between the teeth, according to him was a mix of artists and famous footballers. He could appoint Clifford among others Bunny Wailer, Dago, and Bob Marley. Clifford knew that Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh, who never showed on that football field, The Wailers were a popular group in Jamaica. Clifford especially enjoyed the fitness, the fun and the freedom of the radiated footballers.
If I Dago later at Boys' Town again meet, I ask him to Prison Oval. "Ya mon, we played there often, especially with the Tuff Gong team on Sunday. If the prisoners Bunny and Bob discovered, they were over the moon. Bob played football there happy, because he knew that those boys would have on there yet. " That's exactly what Clifford today said while he sucks his squint joint, as big as a carrot, and slowly let the smoke escape. "For me and some fellow prisoners, thereby somewhat changed. Bob came regularly. At the same time there are messages filtered by the world that he was becoming famous. We only saw his hair grow. The first time I saw him, he had short hair. That changed slowly in an Afro hairstyle, and in 1976 when I last saw Bob, he shoved his long dreads in a large knitted hat. " Maybe Bob Marley playing soccer there often, but Clifford was transferred to another building and when he was released in 1987, Marley was six years deceased.

As a Dutch person I immediately bought this small book, it was nice to read and get to know some more (in detail) about Bob's football 'career' and capabilities. It's interesting how some say he could have been a professional football player, while others maintain he was not that good at all....
