"White shoes." Cragars with the chrome rings painted white, and the inset area on the spokes painted black. I still have the poster.

Kopec's role model was Billy "White Shoes" Johnson. I didn't realize Howard's too? Who knew?

I remember watching Billy "White Shoes" Johnson play for the Houston Oilers. Wide receiver and kickoff returner. Certainly fun to watch.
