122 against the club that let him go

Pikemen

Percy Trubisky, formerly of the Cannoneers: 122 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. Two of them found the end zone. The fixture comes round again next year.

Across eleven seasons: 9,435 yards from scrimmage, 124 touchdowns, 147 games. There was a 2,229-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in three buildings.

He is thirty-five, out of Osaka, Japan. He is the one the young players actually ask. The route here: the highest-rated recruit his state had produced in a decade.

The club is 4-5. Roman Speight is in year two of it. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 10 of 1992. The rest of the season is there too.
