The deformity with which he was born shows clearly in
the pic.

He turned it into an asset. Good man. RIP

RIP…being a Detroit Lions fan, not one of my favorite placekickers!

Last of the straight-on placekickers. Every kicker is now scoccer-style.

@ ZuluPaul – You're a Lions fan? You have my sympathy and my admiration for admitting it. grin

I'm old enough that I remember him as a record setting New Orleans Saint.

On November 8, 1970, Dempsey's basement-dwelling Saints were losing 17-16 to the playoff-bound Detroit Lions at home in Tulane Stadium. With only seconds left, safety Joe Scarpati took the snap and Dempsey booted a 63-yarder, shattering Bert Rechichar's record of 56 yards, which had stood for 17 years.

Rest in peace!
