Most likely to break the record for most sold Ajax jersey ever.
The story behind it:
In 2008 Ajax played a friendly against in Cardiff against Cardiff City.
After the match the Ajax fans were held in the stands. They played Three Little Birds in the stadium and since that day it became an 'Ajax song'
It's played in the Johan Cruijff Arena at the start if the second half of every game.
Over the years Bob's son Ky-Mani Marley performed a couple of times in the Johan Cruiff Arena.
Apparently Bob was a fan of the Dutch national team and Ajax. Especially Johan Cruijf.
I am deeply moved that Ajax has embraced Three Little Birds as its own song. Stories like this touch my heart and show how powerful songs can be. Football was everything to my father. To use his words: football is freedom”, daughter Cedella Marley reacts to Ajax.
Unique (at least for Ajax), Adidas will sell this jersey worldwide.
