Tom Brookshier dies

January 30, 2010

The Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are saddened to announce that former All-Pro defensive back Tom Brookshier passed away on Friday night at the age of 78 after a bout with cancer.

Originally a 10th round draft pick from Colorado, Brookshier made an immediate impact with eight interceptions during his rookie season of 1953. Then, after a two-year stint in the Air Force, the defensive back returned to the Eagles and twice earned All-Pro honors - first in 1959, and again in 1960 as a member of the NFL championship team.

After 15 years, hanging up press pass

Webmaster's note - This is John's last column in today's Delaware County Daily Times.  John has been a fixture of high school sports coverage since we started back when my son played in 1997.  His enjoyment and thrill of high school sports was obvious in every article we read. Good luck in your new endeavors...........you will be missed!  

The details have become blurred through the years. All I remember about my first assignment for this newspaper, Springfield hosting West Chester Henderson in a nonleague football game, was the final score: 16-0. It was not in favor of the Delaware County school. Oh, and Springfield coach Rick Taylor wasn’t in a chatty mood afterward.
Driving to the game? Those details are not difficult to recall. I had just started my freshman year at La Salle University and was coming home on the weekends to cover some high school football for Sports Editor Bob Tennant, a man I’ll forever call my mentor.
I had a case of nerves on the way to Springfield, sparked by the fear of blowing a big opportunity. I had a case of nerves after the game, as I sat down to write my story.
The 18-year-old from that fall afternoon in 1995 is long gone. He’s more confident now, and has written thousands of articles for the Daily Times, from game stories to features to columns. This one, written as a 33-year-old, is my last. Today, after four years as a correspondent and 11 years as a full-time employee, I’m no longer a staff member of the Daily Times.  (click the blue headline for the article)
