The League of Ireland: Natty and dread

So, this lovely image of Bob Marley adorning Bohemians’ new away strip: Does it mean that, next season, when it’s nil-nil late on and the opposition score, we will be entitled to refer to the goal as “breaking the dreadlock”?

The shirt commemorates Marley’s concert at Dalymount Park in 1980, a famous gig your present correspondent actually attended, but about which, frankly, my recollection is somewhat hazy, no doubt mainly due to my rapidly advancing years, but partly also, I suspect, because any kind of proximity to the Rastaman vibration in those days tended to leave one exposed to what used to be called in the trade “a contact high”.

At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
