Where Are They Now? William (the Refrigerator) Perry By Austin Murphy, CNN/SI
The Fridge is not what you would call a natural for this line of work. The man who must now climb scaffoldings as high as 50 feet has not exactly been wasting away since hanging up his worldwide football pants. Asked about his weight these days, Perry says he doesn't know. Pressed for a ballpark figure on his ballpark figure, he offers 355, which, to a casual observer, seems a conservative estimate indeed. Put it this way: His former self is a shadow of him. 'When he comes up that scaffold, you know it,' says Mr. B.
Safety is not compromised. Extra attention is paid to ensuring that the scaffolding is sound. 'I make sure it's right,' says the Fridge. 'I tell the guys, if it holds me, then no one else has a problem.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
