Bills4154 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Booker Moore, age 50, has apparently died of a heart attack while watching NFL football on tv. He played on the 1987 Penn Stagte championship team and was drafted by the Bills. He played 5 years with the Bills as a running back and during that time was diagnosed with Gullain barre syndrome, a neurological disorder. RIP Booker!

Red Squirrel Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm vaguely remembering a play when Booker's helmet fell off and he still lowered his noggin and crashed into somebody. He was a tough dude, and one wonders how he would have done as a player if not for the Guillain-Barre. Regardless, it is sad he is gone but also nice to hear he was well liked and respected in his second career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
