Memorial Day Question: Who's Your Favorite Bama Player Who's No Longer With Us?

[BamaMoon]

First, we should all be thankful for the men who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country!!!

Alabama football isn't the military, but we've lost some great ones. Who's your favorite player from your lifetime that is no longer with us, other than Coach Bryant?

Derrick Thomas, hands down. IMO the best player to ever play at Bama.

That played in my lifetime—Derrick Thomas. GOAT would probably be Don Hutson.

John Basilone, US Marine, MOH and Navy Cross recipient, died on Iwo Jima in 1945.

Derrick Thomas is the reason I started to become a super fan of Bama.

 

[Bama63]

Mal Moore.

I think my favorite is Charley Boswell. Rescuing a comrade in WW2 when a tank exploded leaving him permanently blind. He then became the best blind golfer in the world. Played at Bama from Ensley High School.
