Happy Belated Birthday Tony Dorsett!

Happy belated birthday to Tony Dorsett!! He turned 70 yesterday.

I wish I was old enough to see him play in his prime and appreciate his talents. I really only remember his last couple of years as a Cowboy and his year in Denver.

The smoothest, fastest running back to ever play the game.

He was a joy to watch.

At least I have old games and highlights I can watch. We haven't had anybody else with his explosiveness since he left.

Fortunate to have been a fan during the days of ‘Touchdown Tony.’ One of the smoothest shift-of-gears to ever play running back - 0-60 in three steps. Glad he played for my Cowboys. Met him in-person at a New Mexico political fund raiser while I was in the Air Force back in the early eighties. Like the time I shook hands with George Foreman …. I’ll never forget it.

'pitt33' - I remember during the Panthers '76 championship season when they came on down to "Hotlanta" for their second game - after beating Norte Dame in South Bend in their opener.
The atmosphere all week on the Georgia Tech campus (I was a freshman) was so alive, electric, and hyped - it was an experience I will never forget.
The game at Grant Field was on a September Saturday night; it was like attending a music concert with the best artists back then performing onstage.
Then - after winning many of college football's prestigious awards -
TD goes to the Cowboys and has a great rookie season to help them win their 2nd NFL Title.

My favorite RB and along with The Hat and Captain Comeback, the reason I am a boys fan. Happy Birthday TD!

Happy birthday Dorsett. I remember being a young guy running around my back yard with my Cowboys helmet on pretending to be Tony Dorsett. Good childhood right there. Thanks for the memories #33

How bad is his CTE?

When I was younger I collected one copy of almost every card ever made of Tony Dorsett. I even had some of the very rare release stuff.

I remember watching this game and thinking, I wish the Cowboys would draft Dorsett.

Thank you Seattle!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best gifts that the Cowboys have ever received!

No doubt!! We definitely won that trade. Also, we should thank Tampa Bay for drafting Ricky Bell first.

RIP RB, loved him at USC. TD is my favorite boys as a RB and we have had some greats.

That acceleration made you miss him again.

 

[DogFace]

Tony is what made me fall for the Cowboys. So I blame him for this unhappiness.

Happy belated B-Day Tony..
