Andre Halloran was not supposed to be here

Andre Halloran RB
Quarrymen

Andre Halloran was a late bloomer who did not start a game until he was a college senior, and this club found him. 121 yards. Remember who was looking. He has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.

465 yards over his first season. Five touchdowns. Five games.

He turned twenty-seven this year. He is from Reykjavik, Iceland. Around the building he would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday.

The club is 4-4. Yusuf Larue is new. He is out of contract after this.

This feature ran in the paper in week 9 of 1977. The rest of the season is there too.
