85. Makes me feel old - I had his football card as a kid.
I met him while I was playing High School football. Believe it or not, pro football players had off season jobs back then because they didn’t have enough from their football salaries to live well rear around. Forrest Gregg was a athletic eqipment salesman and came to our small high school to sell us shoulder pads. I grew up in the Dallas area and the Packers had beaten Dallas the year before to go to the first Super Bowl. Needless to say, he was a fascinating man to a group of young boys, even though he broke their heart in the “Ice bowl” of 1966.
