Everything about Bob Dee totally explained
Robert Henry Dee (
May 18,
1933 –
April 1979) was an
American football defensive end in the
National Football League and the
American Football League. He was a three-sport letterman at
Holy Cross College who was one of the first players signed by the
Boston Patriots of the fledgling
American Football League in
1960.
After two years with the
Washington Redskins in 1957-58, Dee returned to Holy Cross to tutor the team's linemen.
He became an ironman of the American Football League who never missed a game during his career, starting 112 consecutive games. Despite equipment improvements over the years, Dee was a superstitious player who chose to wear the same helmet throughout his career (105 of 112 games). Dee etched his name in the history books by scoring the first
touchdown in American Football League history when he dove onto a
fumble in the end zone in an exhibition contest vs.
Buffalo on
July 30,
1960. He was voted to four
American Football League All-Star teams (1961, 1963-65) and is a member of the Patriots All-1960s (AFL) Team.
On
July 22,
1968, Dee announced his retirement from professional football, citing a business opportunity that was "too good to resist."
In recognition of his accomplishments on the field, the Patriots
retired his number (89).
