Full movie on YouTube, wow never realized it was only 74 minutes long.I never watched Gale Sayers play, but I did watch Brian's Song with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams as Sayers.
Tv movies of that era were usually cheap and cheesy. Not Brian's Song, it could have easily made money in theaters. I'll have to see if I can add it to my menuboard.
Anyone know who's carrying it?
I don't think that it would be inappropriate to include Bobby Orr in this group. And he may have been the greatest of them all in terms of their respective sports.I’m gettin old. I ain’t this old.
Too young to have seen Sayers play but the name I heard most today was Koufax as a comparison. Unbelievably great players but a very short window for both. I thought of Bo Jackson. Not because of playing style but both were flashes of greatness
