Len Dawson's Birthday (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=338771)

Len Dawson's Birthday

Happy B-day to Lenny the Cool! HOF player and announcer.

Ubeja didn't know his nickname was Lenny the Cool that's why he could never get into the Trivia Challenge Forum where carcosa is King.

Happy Birthday Lenny the Cool

HBD Lenny. As a kid he was my only idol that wasn't either my Dad or a Beatle.

Client of mine is a personal friend of Len Dawson. Said he isn't doing good at all.

I’ve heard that as well and he’s been out of sight for a while now.

:huh:

Thanks for the update Debbie Downer. Way to take the "Happy" out of the B-day thread. :(

Sucks that we will lose him some day. Such a class act!

The reaper comes for us all, and 86 is a decently full life.

I think the last I saw him in media was that interview/side-by-side he did with Mahomes back during the 2018 season. Yeah, he really was in rough shape. Weird to think that just a year or two before that he was doing post-game interviews with Andy Reid for chiefs.com. The Lenny from those interviews compared to the Lenny in that segment was night and day.

It will be sad when he goes, but we've got some great memories of him as Chiefs fans. What's even better is he didn't go the route that some team legend QBs from back in the day will go, where they fail the team in some way. Example: the Packers with Bart Starr's awful head coach years.

As a player Lenny was a hero, and in his retirement he continued to champion the team and Kansas City in positive ways. Can't ask for much more.

Happy Birthday Lenny the Cool

Basic knowledge for any Chiefs fan... Ubeja passed away a broken man but Lenny The Cool will live forever...

Happy Birthday Len Dawson

I have a signed picture of Len in my office. He is still my all time favorite Chiefs QB until this other guy's career is complete. Lenny is the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, so that means he is double lucky. He's had a glorious life. Here's to many more years!
