My Pops in the 83 Saint Louis Golden Gloves!

[V.WEBB]

hey Coach..my dad said he knows your pops..he said they used to call him spiderweb...he talks highly of him..said he was 5/10 and fought at 140(139) and was real good..said he worked with Ben Stewart..and fought on same team as Tony Pruitt
..props..

LOL. That is crazy! Yes, they did used to call him SpiderWebb. Big Ben did train him, Ben used to have me on the heavy bag when I was a little kid.

I remember Tony too, he died some years back though, his wife shot and killed him. I actually went to the funeral with my dad. Anyways, good to hear this though!

Yo, here are a few Youtube videos from the 83 Saint Louis Golden Gloves. My pops is fighting Tony Martin (who went on to be no too bad as a pro). My dad is in the white. It was a good fight, they went at it. Tony caught my dad with a nice shot that sent him down. But pops got up and went to war with him! My dad won the fight. But let me know what you think!

I didn't get far

He had me in the gym at a young age, then directed me to other sports.

I'm still mad

I'm joking.

Nice post, they say the apple never falls too far from the tree even if you took another. Sorry to hear about the NFL try out hiccup. Did you ever continue to pursue that dream? My half brother played fullback for the chiefs and raiders. What position did you play?

[DuttyAlacrity]

thanks for sharing

Yes, I did. I had a long rehab on my hamstring because I pulled it pretty badly. The next year I worked out for them again, but they ended up drafting Mike Hart from Michigan in the 7th round if I'm not mistaken. I played on an arena team last season, but I got hurt and tore my meniscus. So...that didn't go too well, and I played Running Back.
