Rated among Jamaica’s greatest footballers, Allan “Skill” Cole had a love for music that transcended his much-documented ties to Bob Marley.

He was a regular at dances, especially in east Kingston, since his early teens.

That passion will be remembered during Authentic: Tribute to The Life of Allan “Skill” Cole, which takes place October 17 at Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew.
