Because he played so long ago, many knew him only by reputation. I, and I'm sure some others here, actually saw him play. He was a force, one of those guys you game planned for and needed to know where he was at all times.

He was also a pussycat off the field, like many ferocious competitors. Alex, you will be missed.
