The Wheel of Fortune has smiled upon Rolf.

Ditto on the memory of watching him being carried off and also running off the field immediatly after kicking off so he didnt get hit in coverage. Amazing man that Rolf. Thanks for posting the article

I became a fan in the days of Rolf's illness. I have since developed UC as well, and have faced some of the same difficulties. I can't imagine getting out of a hospital bed to play a game of football... simply amazing. /was then, and even more so now a personal hero of mine!

Rolf vs. Kaeding at the end of the game...not even close

i don't read many books.......but his book, 'alive and kicking', is an absolute must read. i have actually loaned it out a couple of times, to some people who were in 'ill health'.

Amazing man that Rolf. Thanks for posting the article It was a long time ago, but I remember there was one game where he actually brought down a return man by diving at his legs.
