DID YOU KNOW? PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Hall of Fame Inductee, Timmy Brown, was a key player, and was involved in start of the long-standing rivalry between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys in 1967. Inducted into the Eagles Hall of fame in 1990, Timmy was the only Eagle (and the first of nine NFL players ever) to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same game. Timmy passed away in 2020, but the memory of his great accomplishments continue to inspire the next generation of NFL players.

Meet Roy Weaver and David Sullivan as they share the process of writing Timmy's biography. Eagles fans and film buffs will enjoy this energetic presentation. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing will conclude the program.
