It will be an iconic shirt and help keep the Marley legend alive and well on our island. The day itself, to see him on stage in the stadium, with the huge church steeple in the background, was out of this world.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##Daniel Lambert, Bohemian FC chairman, emphasized:”It brings me enormous joy to unveil this jersey today following years of work on the idea. The Marley concert at Dalymount is one of Ireland’s truly special musical events, his only ever Irish show and, sadly, his last ever outdoor one. His love of football is widely known to all, and he played on our famous pitch before the concert, the same turf that some of the world’s best players have graced such as Pele, Best and Zidane. And it is amazing.”Bohemians and Bob Marley’s family have collabed for their new away kit 🤩Shirt sales will raise funds to bring football and music to asylum seekers in Ireland 👏 pic.twitter.com/gwC0GowK5z— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) January 24, 2022
