Saw him play in HS when I was in Jr. High.

I saw his memorial at Haughton HS a few years ago. It was in horrible condition. I hope they have cleaned that up since.

We need more athletes like Joe Delaney. A true American hero.

That sucks to hear. I hope somebody took care of that too.

I remember how terrified I was of the water before I learned how to swim.

Today makes 30 years since he drowned trying to save those kids
quote:
Thirty years ago today, Chiefs running back Joe Delaney noticed that a trio of young boys had waded into a man-made water hole. It contained an unknown deep end, and they quickly were in trouble.
As Frank Deford, then of Sports Illustrated, later explained it, “There were all sorts of people around, but only Joe dashed to the pond. There was a little boy there. ‘Can you swim?’ he asked Joe.
“‘I can’t swim good,’ Joe said, ‘but I’ve got to save those kids. If I don’t come up, get somebody.’ And he rushed into the water.”
Delaney saved one of the boys. Two drowned. So did Delaney.
