1. Tim Brown - loved everything about him. Total class person, otherworldly talent on the field. Was there in the stands the evening that he ran two consecutive punt returns back for TDs against MSU. Before the next punt, after he had just run two back for TDs, the public address announcer said..."And back to return for the Irish, is You Know Who!". Met him on campus once, just a pleasant guy.
2. Chris Zorich - his story speaks for itself. Absolutely dominant interior terror. Terrific representative for ND.
3. Joe Montana. Duh - he's Joe Montana.
4. Bob Crable - Duh - he's Bob Crable
5. Allen Pinkett - absolutely idolized him. Another complete class person. Ran into him one day in the old bookstore when we were both students. Approached him and introduced myself, and he could not possibly have been more gracious. Spent several minute chatting. These were the days of 'Pinkett, Pinkett, Pass, Punt' as an offensive strategy. He was THE MAN at ND.
