    Bill "Superfoot" Wallace.

    And because I am certain there are a few "Who?"s out there. Professional Karate Association Middleweight champ six years, winning 23 consecutive full contact karate fights from 1974-80, acted in "A Force of One" with Chuck Norris, "Neighbors" and "Continental Divide" with Belushi. Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame in 1973. He was one of the broadcasters on the first UFC pay per view broadcast. The guy could throw a side kick in an eyeblink.

    Wasn't that also Ralph Drollinger's nickname at UCLA? 'Cause he was always being called for traveling?

    For some reason just thought of Slick Watts, one of my favorite players back in the day.

    Donald, I believe, was his given name.
