GALE SAYERS
B/w photograph of the Chicago Bears running back jumping over a
fallen teammate
Photograph signed: "G Sayers", B/w 8x10. Hall of Famer
Sayers played seven seasons with the Chicago Bears. For his first entire season,
Gale scored 22 touchdowns and 132 points, both then-rookie records. Quiet,
unassuming, and always ready to compliment a teammate for a key block, Sayers
continued to sizzle in 1967 and well into the 1968 season. Then, in the ninth
game, Sayers suffered a knee injury that required immediate surgery. After a
tortuous rehabilitation program, Gale came back in 1969 in a most spectacular
manner, winding up with his second 1,000-yard rushing season and universal
Comeback of the Year honors. But injuries continued to take their toll and,
just before the 1972 season, Gale finally had to call it quits. In his
relatively short career, he compiled a record that can never be forgotten. His
totals show 9,435 combined net yards, 4,956 yards rushing, and 336 points
scored. At the time of his retirement he was the NFL's all-time leader in
kickoff returns. He won All-NFL honors five straight years and was named
Offensive Player of the Game in three of the four Pro Bowls in which he
played. Fine condition.
