Danny Reilly was the best defense man in Roller Derby. He trained me in the LA training school to skate @ 15. I was a rookie in 1964, 65. The went Pro in 1966. Never skated for any team but the LA-Thunderbirds. Because of being private schooled and going to Bible Collage I only skated when needed by the team ownership. I loved it and Danny Reilly was the tops. His death of cancer hurt me deeply. Rest in Peace, Danny!!!!
Danny Reilly was one of the best defense men ever. Here on the East Coast, we saw the T-Birds skate red against the Eastern Warriors. They were great games, with Ralphie and Danny going against the likes of Buddy Atkinson, Jr., and Richard Brown. I've always thought that we got to see the best of the best out here. The Warriors could match up at least evenly with the T-Birds, and those games were a lot of fun to watch.
