BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Nice article today in NY Daily News on Cookie Gilchrist. Going back to when I was 8 years old growing up in New Jersey, my first game I saw was against the NY Jets who all rooted for in my neighborhood. After I saw Cookie eat up the Jets that day I became a Bills fan ever since. Thought this article was a good human interest topic for one of our all time greats. The guy was a monster if you did not see him play.

He has been sending me drafts of the book for comments and editing throughout the writing process. Good insight into Cookie, written in Cookie's own words. I am not sure if it has been released yet. If not, it should be out shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Very intersting read. Gilchrest was a boyhood idol of mine for his feats on our gridiron. I recall many of the zany stories about him from that era -which was very short. Had it not been for this ex-cop, I'd have just kept the memory that he was a 'loon', I'll get my hands on the book. KRC, you are the Man! P.S. That looks like an original Bills jersey from the mid-'60's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
