Classic Sports Card of The Day

30 Jan

1986 Topps football card of a player who was a member of one of the most memorable Super Bowl teams of all time, former Chicago Bear defensive lineman William “The Refrigerator” Perry. An immediate fan favorite when he joined the Bears, Perry played defensive tackle and also was used at fullback, to lead block for Walter Payton and occasionally to carry the ball. He even scored a touchdown in the Bears’ Super Bowl win over the Patriots. That Bears team, coached by Mike Ditka, was full of characters, led by Perry and rebel quarterback Jim McMahon. They even released the “Super Bowl Shuffle” video before they qualified for the game. Perry wound up playing 10 seasons in the NFL, and has the distinction of having the largest Super Bowl ring of any player in history to win one.
