George McAfee, age 90

Hall of Fame Halfback for Chicago Bears
Washington Post - United States
... the Chicago Bears in the 1930s and '40s and who pioneered the use of lightweight low-cut football shoes, died March 4 at a hospital in Snellville, Ga. ...

George Anderson McAfee was born March 13, 1918, in Corbin, Ky., and grew up in Ironton, Ohio. He was one of 12 children; two of his brothers also played in the NFL.

Survivors include two daughters, Cheryl Morgan of Stone Mountain, Ga., and Mary Jeanne Stouffer of Fort Worth; a brother; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
The whole article is great. I had no idea we had a football great in our midst here in Snellville.
