Wally's Boys

“They may stop me but not those other boys” – Frank Sinkwich. Athens Banner-Herald, Sept 25 1941

 

This is a list of the men who played football for Wally Butts. Later they would refer to themselves as 'Wally's Boys'. Each year they hold a reunion to reminisce, reconnect, and to honor those among their group who have passed on.
