One of the greats and the nicest man you will ever meet. The day I met him he asked ME if he could friend me on Facebook.

For sure. Just a really nice, humble guy. Almost like he is surprised people know who he is when they approach him.

We met him at the 2015 Citrus Bowl. We asked if he’d take a picture with my then 7 year old son, his reply “only if I can get him on my shoulders for the pic” so Bobby picked up my son who was literally sitting on Bobby’s shoulders for the pic, at 76 years old or so at the time. My son was smiling from ear to ear.
Go Bobby Bell!!
