RIP. Gad bless Tom Dempsey. I was 12 years old but I was in the stadium when he kicked his field goal.

I'd love to hear any stories or memories that you might recall, like what the people around you were saying when Dempsey trotted on the field to try the kick, the reaction after he made it, etc. Do you remember hearing the sound of foot meeting ball? People have said it sounded like a cannon.

My favorite part of the gif above is the referee's reaction as he raises his arms to signal the kick was good. His body language says "Holy shite, he made it!!"
