He was a gentle giant, a great guy who loved kids and I got to spend time with him both in Italy when he played for Telemarket Forli and in New Jersey when he returned to coach. I knew his second wife's father-in-law really well and Darryl introduced me to John Amos of Good Times and West Wing.

Shame he died too young.

Here he is playing for Telemarket Forli in Italy
Dawkins was a beast!

How is John Amos? I’ve always been a fan.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
