Similar theme, about Freddie Steinmark at Texas. Decent movie, but a great story.



Freddie Steinmark, starting safety at Texas, played his last game when Texas beat Arkansas in the 1969 ‘Game of the Century’.

After Texas' 15-14 Victory, a cancerous tumor was discovered in Freddie’s left thighbone, resulting in amputation of his leg. 20 days later, Steinmark stood on crutches to support the Longhorns in their victory over Notre Dame in the National Championship Cotton Bowl game.

Freddie was a man of faith, and during his senior year, he coached freshman football at UT, was a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society, and gave motivational speeches across the country.

Freddie Joe Steinmark lost his battle to cancer in June 1971.

The DVR replay of the National Championship from last year… or the year before
The sequel is as sweet as the original
