61, A Vietnam Vet Cut The Small-college Kickers
At an age when many begin to think about retirement, Alan Moore is to restart his football career.
Moore, 61, a Vietnam veteran, will begin in the fall of Faulkner University, a small Christian school in Montgomery, Alabama, 43 years after starting his college career was interrupted by Vietnam. When he takes the field against Ave Maria September 10, Moore will be the oldest player ever to take the stage for a four-year college.
Moore was only able to play his first year at Jones County (Miss) Junior College before going to Vietnam in 11 months [in 1968]. Watching a football game in 2009 inspired him to buy soccer balls, pillars built in the garden of her daughter and kicking practice.
Last year, Moore was kidnapped in an attempt to prove Jones's team, but end up making the team of Holmes Community College (Mississippi), having been referred by the aunt of the coach. Ironically, he made an appearance in Holmes v. Jones County.
Moore was the first player ever at any level in his sixties. George Blanda was 48 when he retired from the NFL after his career as a fullback and kicker. In 2004, the 39 year old Tim Frisby walk with success in South Carolina as a wide receiver. "Pops" Frisby was also a veteran, spending time with the U.S. Army as a soldier in the first Gulf War. Even on television, Gerald "Major Dad" McRaney was alone in his 40 years when she guest-stars as a veteran to give college football the last shot in the old sitcom "Coach."
However, Moore has another 13 years to go to Ken Mink, superior, who was 73 when he played for the basketball team of Roane State (Tennessee) in 2008 in Tennessee Community College Athletic Youth Association. Has there ever been an official verdict on Social Security as an "unfair advantage"?
