 The annual Bell Zade Memorial Football Festival returns with its 38th staging on Monday, the 16th of October, at the St. George's College playing field in Kingston, Jamaica. The football festival, which is staged in honour of two of Jamaica's most influential football figures, Winthrop, Jackie Bell and Dennis Zade, both of whom died in a bus crash while attending the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico. We'll see four teams, Christian Ambassadors, St. George's Old Boys, a Referee's team and an All-Star team participating and joining us in the studio to tell us more about it, organiser Clive Bizzy Campbell and Mariah will be talking with one of the players and organises in a short while as well. Bizzy, welcome to the new studios here of Sportsmax. Great that you have been able to keep this going for so long. I know that on every public holiday, you make a festival out of the occasion and this is the, well, you have a one love on Ash Wednesday and different events for your public holidays. But the Bell Zade is very special to football fans in Jamaica and it's good that you've been able to keep this going for so long. Well, it's great to give this train to go on and good day to your viewers in here. And this has been a 38th annual fun day, we decided because we always have to honour people on the day. Like Mr. London, a former regular coach, he'll be one of the honorees. Well, a month ago you wouldn't have said former, but go ahead. Well, we had put him down from, you know, months before that he would be one. And they have Calvin Strott, a former Jamaica footballer, a Cavalier player, Calvin Strott, one of the best centre I've seen and played with. That's not Heidel? No. Heidel is a different person. He played against Casey, then played Cavaliers in Jamaica. Yes. 1970, both myself and him was invited by George Thompson in the Jamaica squad. Then you have Granny Marshall, Carnel Marshall, his son is Tyrone Marshall, he'll be honoured also. And there's a gentleman by J.C. they call him Dalfi, Othdale Garden, the curator. He will be honoured on the same day. But as I said, you know, I've been four teams, it will be just fun, run, you play 30 minutes, you play against each other. And it's just to keep Belzealia alive. Because a lot of people don't know what it meant to me reaching as far as Miami. And someone said the football is on TV and I turn back. You know? So I said the only thing I could do, and I said Viverich was the first person, Carl, 86, because Jackie had met him early, I mean he was a captain, West Indies. And he said we have to do something. And that's all. You know, I said yes. And I remember Viverich came the very next year, he and his brother, over by Winchester Park there. Yes. And you know, I'll never forget, because Bonnegudson was there, and DeGalagi, former Jamaican, George's old boy, he was one of the first honorees. And there were so many people I can remember, just off the cap, that I've been honored under Heroes Day. Yes. Because I said Belzealia, both of them, they were my heroes, my friends. And I know what they meant to Jamaica football, a lot of people don't know. They were from a senior coach and on the 20th coach also, both of them. And when I think of it, as I said. You know, Jackie cared a lot about football. I remember as a teenager playing football on the street near Barbican Square, where the supermarket was. At that time it was Masters Supermarket, it's now Hilo. And we were there playing, I was probably 15 or 16, no I was a little older, maybe 18 or so. And Jackie Bell was driving past and he just saw the football being played. And he stopped. He stopped and just wanted to talk to the youngsters to inspire them and give them, you know, some words of wisdom. So he was that kind of person where he cared about young people and cared about the football. And I remember very, very vividly like yesterday, the Sunday morning when we got the news that there was this bus crash in Mexico and both Jackie Bell and Dennis Sadie had died in the crash. Ed Barnes was on radio. He went in to do updates live on RJR because it was sudden breaking news. And I was at home at the time hearing. I was working at RJR, but Ed was the boss. So Ed took on the job of reporting the news of Sadie and Bell's tragic passing. They were, I think, traveling from one venue to the next to go to see a Brazil game because they were huge Brazilian fans, weren't they? Like you are. I was born there. I don't think so. But you know, when I think of it lands, I remember a girlie coming from Trinidad and said to Joseph, two former captain and players, they came and you interviewed Gally at RJR. I have that tape. I already remember it because Gally team didn't make it to the World Cup 1990. And it was so sad for him. Just missed out. I remember. Gally is a good man. Very, very good man. And you know, a friend of mine, we keep in touch every day, you know, I can hear from him. But as I said, this game, when we play the game, and we ask for a donation, it's just to help kids, basic schools, because I try to get as much computers and printers into the basic school. And last year, you played in the classical, we had combined it with the gift. And I'll never forget when I got a call that they break into the marina to basic in waterhouse and took away the TV and everything. Yes. Computers and so on. And I said, I'm going to make sure they got it back. Yeah. Well, a good thing we got back some funds from the game and it was provided. Yeah. All right. That's Clive Busy Campbell, organizer of the Bell Zade Festival, the 38th staging coming up on Monday. And Mara is now seeking with Everaldo Creary, who will be a part of the action as well. Yeah. I'm happy to be sitting on this side of the table. Are you excited for this competition? Yeah, man, always, because all the poppies and salad, they all get you easy, yeah. What makes you want to be associated with this Bell Zade Memorial? Well, I mean, I know Busy over the years. I don't know if you know me, but as you grow up in Franklin Town, you know, see the icon going to school and thing, you know. And then at KC, I was a cricketer, you know. And by the time I leave KC, you know, cricket not so, you know, friendly anymore with the system. But I wanted to find a routine. So I taught myself how to play football and things. But when I saw that Busy was doing this thing, I was like, what do you mean? Busy, you know, Shepi, you know, Shepi is a member of the normal stuff. I could play some game and things, but it was used to test my, oh, good. I am in football and it was very impressive. So I keep going every year because, you know, loving the crowd, seeing Pukapu and the score, you know. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And of course they love you and they love your music. So tell me a bit about the band. What's been happening? Any new music coming soon? Yeah, you know, we released some music, an album with Walsh Fire from Majelais just before the COVID. So we were on our way back from South Africa. You know, we were invited by Nelson Mandela's Gunson and Ting. And I think the last trip we had was we played for a team. I think Busy took us to Miami, Miramar. Yeah, yeah. How was that? That was awesome, you know. It's another whole set of icons, you know, vintage icons over there. Artists, everybody. But with no much now, we have been busy since the pandemic with like movies and so forth, you know. Manchelain is also in the Babmahali movie that is coming out soon, you know. So, you know, we're not going to stop work. It's a multifaceted group, you know. Yeah. It's a music drama. I mean, theater, I'm doing a play with Deila Harris right now. It closed, but we're bringing it back on the 22nd for one night only. So we keep bubbling, you know. It's many disciplines. So it's not like, you know, if you don't hear music, we're busy in the movie or no movies, it's theater. Or like, for instance, just giving back to schools. I was at Mona yesterday morning talking with the students about, you know, just taking the craft serious and how it requires a level of intelligence. So it's not like you can just, you know, think about it. You're just going to be a chopper or something. You know, you just said that, right? Taking the craft serious and instant. And then you went on to say about being a chopper, right? Are you pleased with the direction to make your music is heading? Whoa, that's a good question. It's a heavy question. Yeah, it's a very question. Well, I can say sometimes I fall into the trap of like being very judgmental about how the youths express themselves. But if you know the history of music, something like maybe mental was slack when mental was heavy in the fifties. When Ska came out, it was like, you know, an inner city downtown word to it was even a curse word in that time. And then Ska become an iconic part of our musical journey. So my thing is maybe you have, you know, some ill-flavored kind of music, you know, fast food type of music there. But I don't think it's the majority. It might be so popular here. But if you kind of step outside of Jamaica, where most of nomads shows are, which is ironic, yeah. So when you check the Europe place and all the reggae circles, and just deep across the world, you see more quality being perpetuated, you know. Yeah, anything you want to say to our viewers who are tuned in about the Bell Stadium Memorial Football Festival and why they should support because they'll be missing out. You're going to be playing. I mean, I mean, you know, besides that reason, that's the greatest reason. But let's come out and support the thing, you know. I mean, I like old lands referred to it as a festival. Yes. Yeah, it is a festival. It has come out. I mean, George is a very good feel. I was going to say good school, but you don't know. Casey is on the other side, so. I don't, I would not tell you what I think about Casey now, but we'll talk offset. You're going to throw back the lands. But come out, man. It's a fun time, you know, the grass green. It's going to be very entertaining, you know what I mean? Artists, whatever artists, they can get to meet them personally, you know what I mean? And kids would like that to run up and support the thing really, because it's a good cause, a great cause. Yeah, football for a great cause. Lance, it's back to you. Yeah, I can give you a sneak preview. Mariah is not a huge fan of Kingston College, but I'd leave it there. And we'll be back with more on the zone after this.
