Billy ' White Shoes ' Johnson

[JourneyRocks81]

Mr. Billy "white shoes" Johnson. The best kick returner of all times.

[madero111]

The funky chicken dance after every TD priceless..... even when done on my beloved Steelers.

No ego trip, just f u n.

@ 2:18

Sayres is a sore bitch.

"Billy was more of an entertainer"

Implying that he wasn't such a good returner.

Even 40 years after his injuries he's still a sore little bitch.

LOL @ the hater @ 3:20

[inventorr77]

Remember THREE non-racist "little monkey" comments made by Cosell?

#1. "You know that little monkey. The theorem was that he was too small for pro football." - 08/29/1972 Chiefs @ Giants preseason HOF game (re: Mike Adamle - white guy)

#2. "Look at that little monkey run!" (re: an unknown player, white or black? game, punt or kickoff return?) Billy "White Shoes" Johnson?

#3. "That little monkey gets loose doesn't he." - 09/05/1983 Dallas @ Washington (re: Alvin Garrett - black guy)

[broadwayjoe12jets]

I remember something Joe Namath once said on The Tonight Show: "When I played, we celebrated AFTER the game. IF we won."

That's the way it oughta be. Until you've won the game, there is nothing to celebrate.

[mrmonnet]

Deion Branch did this yesterday LOL. It's amazing I saw my niece do that when she was 5.

[godfrycc]

@fishspidery go away dude

[fishspidery]

He's a shit coach.

[godfrycc]

[Josh00ishful]

[Josh00ishful]

[ClassicRocker61]

[longhorn2615]

Billy White Shoes will always be a Houston Oiler.

The days of real football are RIP....

[Southpaw447]

Gale Sayers is such a hater. All he did, the entire countdown was bitch, complain and hate on every body who was ranked ahead of him.

[dominiquelevytiger]

hes my duluth ga youth football couch. that is so cool

[quietriotfan1976]

A) The NFL needs the excitement of a Billy "White Shoes" Johnson again. If you don't like the celebratioin, stop the player before giving him a chance to celebrate. And B) Special teamers like Johnson and Steve Tasker belong in the freaking hall of fame!

And C) Honorable mention to Broncons RB Gerald Whilite and his post TD back flips.

[mr005]

Billy white shoes Johnson these players today should give you money every time they do an end zone dance. I love this old school stuff.

[Mathis27Fan]

I didn't know dudes was dunking on the goalpost back then.lol

[criticalmv]

Love Billy 'White Shoes' Johnson doing the funky chicken, it's so American.

[mdumas43073]

@criticalmv - Agreed. And unlike so many of today's end-zone routines, it genuinely seemed to be about celebration rather than self-promotion.

[dedakatedivy2]

He's now the greatest coach ever...my son's lucky to be a part of his team...

[delo1229]

hes my coach i dint believe him

[bangitslo]

@delo1229 I played with him at Widener College - I did the "funky chicken" first - Tell him Tony Freeman from Chester, Pa. I also wore the "White Shoes" first. He's my man.

[rayjr62]

@bangitslo Billy was my childhood hero, along with Willie McCovey. He was one of the most beautiful and graceful athletes in sports. I love him.

[bandgeorgy22]

@delo1229 Whois this

[r5t6y12]

Vai Sikahema is now a TV sports reporter at NBC 10 in Philadelphia.

[ThankGodImBlack370]

@r5t6y12 Also he was a great return man for the Cardinals and Eagles. He arguable started the flow of Hawaiian players in the NFL.

[gijsoerlemans1992]

the fat dude at 1:14 needss to smoke less, drink less AND eat less. he actually SOUNDS unhealthy!

anyway, GO BILLY

[bob27f]

Too much talking heads--more clips. We know he's great.

@rapidj1 coach johnson WOW

[TheDawg412]

@drxpurist Same

[TheDawg412]

@drxpurist Haha, he was a bad coach and you guys went 2-6 or something.

[pizzaguy1966]

He was also a pretty good receiver if I remember correctly, probably a third receiver though.

[sean4440]

@pbnjsandwatch does he teach you the funky chicken?

[DeeJayDPGC]

lol, i bet he does, its just part of the game, i would do the funky chicken everytime i scored if i played in the nfl, fuck a 15 yard penalty, i would celebrate after every touchdown

[THEATLANTEAN4]

@sean4440 WORD, my friend......WORD. I'd take the 15 every time if we were up and smile at the refs the entire time while doing it. Just to make sure they know that the 15 yard rule isn't going to stop me, I would do at least a 1 minute dance. All of the "suits" are always trying to take the passion and fun out of things. Screw the suits, live life to the fullest, and smile all the way to the bank!!

[pbnjsandwatch]

heyy this my football coach i ain kno he was this good

Go Cach Johnson

[rapidj1]

@rapidj1 YEAA WE GOIN TO WIN IT ALL DIS YEAR WIT HIM AS DULUTH WILDATS COACH

[virtute71]

that bastard was down at the 1yd line.. (niner fan)

[realkingcargo]

i'm not a niner fan but you are 100 percent correct on this one. He was totally down at the one yard line. If they would have had instant replay back then there would have been some upset Falcon fans....

[alferd1979]

shit he was awesome the dance was better

[skuter84]

Whiteshoes was a baad mofo!

[antimatterXXXIII]

@skuter84 Maybe the most universally liked player in modern football history. Even the opponents admired his pluck, skill, and can-do spirit.
