1961 Fleer football card of former Chicago Bears back Willie Galimore. “Willie The Wisp” was drafted by the Bears in 1956 and was known for his tremendous speed and lateral movement – some teammates even claimed he could run as fast side-to-side down the field as most men could in a straight line. Galimore played for the Bears from 1957 until 1963, including their ’63 NFL championship team, but unfortunately, was killed in an auto accident along with teammate Bo Farrington in 1964. He was active in the Civil Rights movement at the time, taking part in demonstrations in his hometown of St. Augustine, Florida shortly before his death. Galimore’s son Ron was the first African-American U.S. gymnast.
