I was reading about one of my favourite reggae songs 'August Town' by Duane Stephenson and was surprised to hear that some of the lyrics were a true story about a war that developed from a game of soccer!
"Then the football ground became a battlefield...'
The neighbourhoods of Hermitage and Jungle 12, in Jamaica, have been at war for decades, causing hundreds of deaths. In 2008 a five year cease-fire was declared by the eight gangs in a peace treaty.
"Everything changed at that football match," Stephenson said.

As Brian Clough once said; "Football is not about life and death, it's more important than that." :-)
