"Curly" Neal dead @ 77
I used to LOVE him as a kid. He, Meadowlark & Goose were THE Trotters in my eye. As silly as it was, the Trotters w/o that trio wasn't authentic. R.I.P.

My young brain tells me that I have seen the Globetrotters in person, but when I look at their roster I cannot recognize any of their players. I cannot remember where I saw them at.
And finally, the year in which I saw them, the Washington Generals were on hiatus Maybe this means I am officially getting old. |

It was 'Geese' not 'Goose' (unless you are in your 70s) but yeah, me too.
I was them play 3 or 4 times in Hartford. The last time, was when Meadowlark came out for one last season.

I was sort of hoping that you were going to say that you were 74 and saw Goose drop kick a basket from full court!

Not 74. Just feel like it.
