  • DICK the BRUISER by John Maxymuk Adapted from Packers by the Numbers, Prairie Oak Press, 2003
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 4 (2005) DICK THE BRUISER By John Maxymuk Adapted from Packers By the Numbers, Prairie Oak Press, 2003. William Frederick “Dick” Afflis played guard, tackle, and defensive line in his four years with Green Bay and wore a higher uniform number each year. He was a credible performer, but will never be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, he was selected for the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2005 based on his 35-year career within the scripted ring as Dick the Bruiser. Dick wasn’t the greatest lineman the Packers had, but he was one of the most interesting characters. In college he moved around a lot. He left Purdue after punching one of the coaches and departed Miami after being caught making book. He lasted only two weeks at Notre Dame and also passed through Alabama before landing in the desert at Nevada-Reno. He was drafted in the 16th round by the Packers and was most noteworthy for his strength. He was an early proponent of body building and looked odd in his football uniform with his 52-inch barrel chest and 30-inch wasp waist. Afflis was not someone to make angry. In the early 1950s many Packer fans would take the train to Chicago and back for the Bears game, and sometimes they would run into players in the dining car. Once a fan got in Afflis’ face about the game on the trip home, and Dick broke off a beer bottle on the bar and invited the fan to do something about it.
