Gale Sayers…Brian’s Song
Gale Sayers and The Gale Sayers Foundation!
It’s been a long time since Gale Sayers has carried the ball for a football team, but he tried with good intentions to give back to the community and help out with his foundation. Unfortunately it did not happen. Although there are talks that they are still working to put something together. Both he and Mike Ditka tried unsuccessfully to revive their respective charities. The infortmation for the Gale Sayers charity/foundation is below:
I was able to meet Gale Sayers about 18 years ago at a Miami Project to Cure Paralysis venture, he was quite and very polite. That is what I remember the most. As any autograph collector know, meeting someone and getting their autograph is exciting. But getting a crappy autograph is usually something that you never forget. As that goes, Gale Sayers did not disappoint. In addition as you can see by my 18 year old picture, he gave a nice big autograph. If you have any doubt as to the wonders of the Sharpie on a glossy photo, take a gander at this one. Should silence the critics.
