In 1977 Gale Sayers was elected to the National Football Hall of Fame honoring an outstanding career as a running back for the Chicago Bears. Examples of his records include six touchdowns in a single game against the San Francisco 49ers and a 99-yard touchdown return against Nebraska when he was a sophomore at the University of Kansas. An award-winning movie, Brian’s Song, was scripted from his autobiography, “I Am Third.” In 1984 he launched a computer reseller firm which, 15 years later, has ten branches and revenue of over $150 million. Gale devotes a great deal of time supporting and raising funds for dozens of charitable organizations.
Gale passed away in 2020 at the age of 77.
