Marley Injures Knee In Charity Soccer Match

Ziggy Marley is hobbling around on crutches after injuring his knee during a celebrity soccer match in Los Angeles on Saturday (02May09).


The son of reggae legend Bob Marley was playing for the Rest of the World team in the charity game against Vinnie Jones' Hollywood United at the Carson, California home of the L.A. Galaxy when he collapsed in agony and had to be carried off the field.


The star's representative tells TMZ.com, "He's walking around on crutches and has bandages on his knee."


But Marley's injury wasn't in vain - his team went on to triumph over former soccer star Jones' team, thrashing them 10-4.
