Had never heard of the confusion over who kicked the winning FG. Always knew it was Richard O'Dell. Too bad I didn't ever bet on that bit of trivia.
Glad Tommy B mentoned the FG he kicked to beat the barn 3-0 in 1960. That was a big win too. Title: Re: Tommy Brooker: The field goal I didn't kick Post by: SUPERCOACH on October 23, 2012, 02:42:42 PM Good video. I love watching the former players tell old battle stories.

I rented a house from him (he rents for private owners), and yes, he works as a realtor and sells insurance with his wife.
