There are two more notable Willies that I don't have cards of, Willie Davis and Willie Wood. Both men played for the Green Bay Packers and both are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
That's a lot of Willies. It would have been interesting to see how many I could have named. I recognize everyone in this post, but I'm pretty sure I would have missed at least a few of them. That being said... I did think of one more football player: Willie Gault.
ReplyDeleteFumble! I need to watch me some 85 Bears highlights, especially after yesterday's sad debacle. Thanks Fuji.
DeleteDo you keep all of your Willie's together? A page of Willie's?
ReplyDeleteNo the Willies have their various homes. Nice that at least half were previously scanned.
DeleteAlso Willie Montanez.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Giants had a cornerback in the 1970s with the unimaginative name of Willie Williams.
I remember Willie Montanez as a Phillie.
DeleteHey. Somebody entered you in a give-away on my blog and you won a PWE of cards.
ReplyDeleteCan you send me your mailing address please? And which sport do you want - Football's probably strongest, followed by baseball, then basketball and hockey.
