Tom Brookshier (Brookie) was a Philadelphia Eagles defensive back in the Mid to late 50s and early 60s but suffered a career ending compound-complex shin bone break. He transitioned into the broadcast booth and for a very long time was Pat Summerall's broadcast partner (Brookie did color, Pat of course play by play) and was finally replaced by John Madden. He had been battling cancer and passed Saturday night. He was a bit of a legend in Philly sports and the community as well, he will be missed. He was 78. May you now truly soar amongst the Eagles, Tom!

He had a very distinctive voice and was a great football announcer too.

My dad thought he was the best. /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
