"Some of the older legends such as Sobers, 78, Lloyd, 70, and Gibbs, 80, won’t play but will be available for photos and autographs."

HELL NO!!!!
In order to forgive, the person has to accept they did something wrong. As far as Rowe is concerned he did nothing wrong.

Not by me!

The "Honorary White" has never apologised for his perfidy. In fact he has even still trying to justify it.

Worse, Rowe has even compounded the problem-and displayed his breathtaking ignorance-by comparing himself to National Hero,Paul Bogle, who he called a "crook"!
